COMMENCING
OCTOBER 24, 1926
AT
GARRICK THEATER
DETROIT
(Janus Letterhead, with HARRY HOUDINI printed at the top)
To: Janus Headquarters
From: Harry Houdini
Date: October 31, 1926
Regarding: Two Words
I fear this may be the end of me. I'm writing this letter from my hospital bed in Michigan and things are not looking good. The doctors tell me my appendix burst and that I now have an infection. I'm trying to remain hopeful, but death may be the one thing I can't escape.
I'm sending along a poster with this letter. On it are two very important words that are the key to our secret. I must say good-bye now. The pain is too much to continue writing. But know that in life, as in death, I will always be a Janus.
H.H. (in script)
