Dated August 20th, 1878, Heller refers to his upcoming travels from the United Kingdom to the United States, stating, "…my trunks are to be sent Saturday to L'pool for shipment." Good condition.

His last performance – of magic, music and humor, as was his practice – was given on November 25th at the Philadelphia Concert Hall. With: A sepia-toned 8 x 10" portrait of Heller (one corner clipped in margin) and a later printing (ca. 1920) of an illustrated Heller handbill.
