HOFFMANN, Professor (Angelo Lewis, 1839 ? 1919). Hoffmann ALS to Paul Fleming. Dated August 9, 1905 and written entirely in Hoffmann's hand on his own stationery, he addresses his career as a writer, stating that he will be working on ?smaller" books due to his age and schedule: ??you have doubtless seen ?King Koko"; and I have just ready for the press a small volume, subtitled ?Recollections of Hartz the Wizard," being a selection of his favorite tricks and an additional chapter of especially good tricks of later date ? ." With the original mailing cover addressed in Hoffmann's hand. Splitting and one corner reinforced. SIGNED ?Angelo Lewis / Prof. Hoffmann." The Hartz book Hoffmann mentions was never published separately. Instead it became a chapter in some editions of his book Later Magic.
