HOUDINI, Harry (Ehrich Weisz). Typed Letter Signed (?Houdini?). New York: September 21, 1925. On one 4to sheet of Houdini?s personal letterhead at 278 West 113th Street, to Mr. Koeningsberg. Houdini writes about several fraudulent mediums, fortune tellers, and others, in part: ?I am having quite an exciting but interesting time. The strangest thing is the mediums attack me but I have their pedigree and I can give them a very good trimming.? Houdini also mentions "reverend" Mackenberg, his investigator Rose Mackenberg, who helped Houdini bust fraudulent mediums. Boldly signed in ink, ?Houdini.? Tiny piece chipped at upper right corner; faint mailing folds.
