HOUDINI, Harry (Erik Weisz) (1874 ? 1926). Houdini Inter-Ocean Typed Letter Postcard, Signed. Dated July 8, 1920, and mailed on R.M.S. Imperator folding ?letter card,? on flexible stock with perforated edges, addressed in Houdini?s hand to Cullen Bryant of Philadelphia. In part, the typed missive reads, ?Here we are in mid-ocean! ? Have had the most successful six months career on stage, both financial as well as artistical! It will be some time before things are normal abroad.? Boldly signed in ink, ?Houdini? and with Houdini?s manuscript notation below his typed address reading, ?Have brot [sic] back a lot of books. If you have new cat[alog] send it along.? Houdini?s letter also notes that there were ?only 400 1st class passengers? aboard the ship. On one previous voyage on this vessel, he shared first class with a passenger even more famous than himself, former president Teddy Roosevelt. The pair posed for a now famous portrait on the deck of the ship, which Houdini would later use for publicity purposes.
