Kellar, Harry (Heinrich Keller). Harry Kellar ALS to Harry Houdini. Dated Nov. 18, 1919 and written on Kellar’s printed letterhead, the letter states, in part, “Just got your letter from Catalina and think that was indeed a record breaking journey by airplane from San Pedro to Avalon in 27 minutes.” One folded sheet, signed on the verso, “Yours as always, Harry Kellar.”In addition to his accomplishments as an entertainer, Houdini is widely acknowledged as the first man to pilot a plane over Australia, making the reference in Kellar’s letter to Houdini’s “record breaking” California flight all the more tantalizing.
