HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 ? 1926). Houdini TLS on Pictorial Letterhead. Dated Feb. 28, 1912, Houdini writes to one Mr. Hersfeld, stating in part, ?Sorry that I did not get see more of you at Hammersteins [sic], but you ?vanished? before I knew what was what.? The second post-script of the letter gives the reader information about one of his famous publicity stunts: ?I am advertised to break jail in Trenton N.J. in two weeks time and if you would like to see a really marvellous ?escape? let me know and I?ll get you in to see it take place. H.H.? Boldly SIGNED in pencil, ?Harry Houdini.? Matted and framed to 17 x 23?, with a later photograph of Houdini inspecting leg irons and chains on the ground before him. Old folds and wear visible, but not examined out of frame.
