Dear Mrs Houdini

There was a statement in the paper that you has said that I had some posthumous test with Houdini. I assure you this is not so. I had no such understanding.

I have had a number of letters on the subject. One from a Miss or Mrs. Gertude Hills who asserts that Houdini had a presentment that he would not return from this circuit. I wonder if this was true.

Yours sincerely

(SGD) A CONAN DOYLE

Dec. 7. 1926

Mrs. Houdini
