Hooker, Samuel C. Dr. Hooker ALS to John Mulholland. Dated Dec. 11, 1921, Hooker writes on his stationery, stating in part, his pleasure at viewing Mulholland’s library: “You definitely have a fine lot & of course you are proud of the collection.” Hooker also relates he is sending Mulholland additional titles for his library, including Quinn’s Fools of Fortune. One 8vo sheet, signed “Samuel C. Hooker.” Rare. Mulholland’s library was indeed impressive, and considered one of the finest of its type by the time of his death. Hooker’s famed card rising effect was eventually entrusted to Mulholland to perform after the Doctor felt unable to present the “impossibilities” he had devised.
