I would like to leave books behind me to let people know that I have lived. I'd like to think that people would read them avidly, as I have read so many and would feel the sadness and frustration and joy and love I tried to put in them, that people would think about that guy James Jones and wish they had known the guy who could write like that.
Letter to George W (Jeff) Jones [3 November 1942]
