M. emblem like the one on the letterhead to the Martin Printing Company, 124 White Street, New York, N.Y. as we are having letterheads printed but we have no cut of the emblem.” Under his signature, Houdini also writes, “Hope all’s well.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, light edge toning, and a couple of trivial tears to bottom edge.
