Description

Written to Houdini's dear friend Will Goldston on January 14, 1915 while Houdini was in Grand Rapids Michigan. Houdini writes of a missing invoice he'd like to pay for Will Goldston's magazine. The following content is good with Houdini's style of humor: I think things will not get any better for some time to come, I can't complain business great all over. These long jumps in America are very bad for me, after my small jumps in England. I have become so English that I have quite a number of scraps because I explain the merits of Great Britain. I have more time to myself in England in one month than 5 months in America. Best wishes and regards to you all from Mrs. H and ...signed Harry Houdini. Annotated in margin in Houdini's hand in margin, This is private. $1,500+
