Dated May 17, 1917, Houdini writes to Edwin Fay Rice, a fellow magician and researcher of magic history, sending him funds for a visit to New York: “As you may want to make your own arrangements I think it best for you to do as you like and enclosed you will find my check for $15. Which will pay your round trip fare[s] a[n]d parlour cars both way[s].” Houdini notes his address in Brooklyn, where he lived for a time with his brother, Hardeen.
