Maskelyne, John Nevil. J.N. Maskelyne ALS. Dated June 7, 1915, the inventive and enterprising magician writes to Lonnie Glenrose in a candid tone, stating, ?I intend to work you into the programme as soon as possible but cannot fix a date?I find that the finances of the business are in such a deplorable condition I must exercise the greatest economy until I can pull the receipts up. They have just now dropped to a point unprecedented.? On one folded sheet of St. George?s Hall letterhead, signed boldly ?J.N. Maskelyne.? With the original mailing cover, address in Maskelyne?s hand.
