Kellar, Harry (Heinrich Keller). Harry Kellar ALS to Harry Houdini. Dated April 10, 1919, Kellar, then the Dean of American Magicians living in retirement in Los Angeles, writes to Houdini about his weakened medical state (?Too weak to stand on my feet, but hope to be better by the time you arrive here??) and mentions a power of attorney document enclosed with the letter, possibly implicating that Houdini would act on Kellar?s behalf. Signed, ?Harry Kellar.? Handsomely framed with two vintage rotogravure prints of Houdini and Kellar to 13 ? x 23 ??.
