American spiritual author and vaudeville magician (1880-1954) who specialized in mentalism and psychic reading acts, and was often referred to as Alexander the Crystal Seer and Alexander the Man Who Knows. TLS signed “C. Alexander,” one page, 8.5 x 10.75, colorful "The Man Who Knows" letterhead, December 31, 1920. Letter to Paul Bauer, in part: "You will find, in making the purchase of these effects, that you have obtained blue prints that are absolutely true to detail in every respect and there is no reason why any first class cabinet maker cannot make same up for you for a very reasonable charge. The Master Secret of the Swami, with a little bit of practice, you will find to be the greatest stunt you have ever pulled. Personally, I advise you to allow me to have made up for you the Dark Trumpet Seance of the Mysterious Dr. 'Q,' as I have same made up by the most skilled workmen in the country, but whether it is made up by me or by yourself, it is the greatest effect of its kind ever invented. You will from time to time hear from me regarding different novelties along magical lines. I have been offered $5000.00 not to publish the book of 'The Life & Mysteries of The Celebrated Dr. 'Q.' by mediums throughout the country, but you may be sure that I will publish it, and it will be the greatest thing that was ever put out in a magical way." In fine condition.
