Today, I share September 10 Letter:

Dear Quincy Kilby,

Leaving today for Lasky Studio Hollywood California until end of November or rather until middle of November.

Am going to do an undersea picture and in it shall make use of my swiming abilities.

Already it is pleased a number of daring swiming stunts and whT I shall do with a fleet of submarines, is awful.

Nothing else, we leave to day will drop you alinr when possible.

Regards best wishes

yours as always the same old

Houdini

Regards to Mrs. Kilby from both of us,

Am sending you a picture of Tom Jefferson Ann Forest and myself.
