Founded in 1872 from a regular meeting of journalists artists and musicians it soon began to accept businessmen and entrepreneurs as permanent members as well as offering temporary membership to university presidents notably Berkeley and Stanford and military commanders who were serving in the San Francisco Bay Area. Today the club has a membership of many local and global leaders ranging from artists and musicians to businessmen." Wiki <br /> <br />While signed checks by London appear on the market with some regulartity this particular document payable to the exclusive San Francisco men's club of which he was an honorary member gives it a certain cachet providing a tangilble connection between this vaunted author & his local upper-crust colleagues & peers though some might say membership in such an elite club somewhat belies his literary efforts to secure worker's rights et al.
