PATERON: Houdini's 12-page love letter to Bess


In my first blog post about my visit to the incredible Harry Ransom Center, I mentioned reading a 12-page stream of consciousness love letter from Houdini to Bess. To start October off with a bang, I've made the full letter available on my Pateron. Just click below and feel the love!


If you are not a patron--and this still doesn't convince you to join--that's fine. You can still see many treasures from the Harry Ransom Center via the links below, with more to come!

  1. Ha, ha! Where did that image come from? That little angel with the bayonet rifle guarding them.

    1. It's from a 1930 article by Ada Patterson in The World Magazine. Also in Ransom Center.

    2. Is the Patterson article about Houdini's love letters? What was the article about?

    3. Yep, it's about Houdini's love letters. But different ones from those I read at the HRC.

    4. That Patterson article deserves a post unto itself.

    5. There was nothing revelatory in it.
