Not a line. You knew my address all the time. I, on the other hand, didn't write my congratulations, etc., at the time, first, because at that time I imagined you would be too busy realizing each other to be bothered, too happy to be made happier by mere works of friends; and, second, I hadn't your address and was too busy to find it when i thought of it, and when I had the time was too absent-minded. However here's to the pair of you now. My best wishes to you, and my heartiest love - also; a further expression of my insistent desire to hear all about it. Jack London, Oakland, Calif.
