‘Houdini adored his wife and enjoyed leaving her love notes and poems
around their Harlem brownstone at 278 West 113th Street. He
affectionately called her his “Precious Lump of Sweetness,” “Sweetie
Wifie, Mine,” and “Darling One and Only.” Houdini signed these notes
with various pet names including “your popsy” and “Houdinsky.” Houdini
biographer Kenneth Silverman included this note from the magician to his
wife in the book Houdini!!! The Career of Erich Weiss:

Adorable
Sun Shine
Of my Life
I have had my coffee
have washed out this glass,
and am on my way to business.
Houdini
“My darling I love you”

Aww, I love this picture… and the note just made it so much sweeter!
