HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz, 1874 ? 1926). One Page Houdini TLS. Dated May 17, 1917, Houdini writes to Edwin Fay Rice, a fellow magician and researcher of magic history, sending him funds for a visit to New York: ?As you may want to make your own arrangements I think it best for you to do as you like and enclosed you will find my check for $15. Which will pay your round trip fare[s] a[n]d parlour cars both way[s].? Houdini notes his address in Brooklyn, where he lived for a time with his brother, Hardeen. With the original mailing cover retained. Some splitting at old folds, else good. SIGNED boldly in ink, ?Houdini.?
