Houdini, Beatrice. Bess Houdini ALS to Joseph Dunninger. Dated December 31, 1932 and written on her die-cut and monogrammed letter ?H? stationery, Mrs. Houdini addresses the famous mind-reader in a humorous tone: ?My dear Joe (pardon me I?m still mad at you) My Dear Mr. Dunninger?? and later says, ?There now I feel better.? She addresses personal topics, asking after Dunninger?s mother and another person, whose name has been scratched out (possibly Dunninger?s ex-wife), but then jokes, ?I don?t care how you are ? see I?m getting mad again.? Boldly signed ?Beatrice Houdini,? with a New Year?s greeting after the signature.
