Zustand: Very good. November 23, 1930., 1930. Very good. - An original 9-1/8 inch high by 4-1/2 inch wide finished blue graphite drawing by Seymour Halpern superbly portraying the American diplomat Edward M. House, known as Colonel House. The image is a frontal portrait of Woodrow Wilson's advisor Edward M. House from the chest up. House is attired in his traditional jacket, vest & tie over a white shirt. Bald, with a light mustache, House calmly looks forward. Signed diagonally by Seymour Halpern at bottom right of his drawing. The portrait is inscribed, signed and dated by the politician along the bottom margin "With fond wishes for your success, E.M. House / Nov. 23rd, 1930". There is minor creasing with a couple of tiny chips to the top edge of the drawing with heavier crease to the bottom left corner. Very good. The American diplomat Edward M. House (1858-1938) was an advisor to President Woodrow Wilson. Though he did not serve in the military, he was frequently referred to by the honorary title "Colonel House". A highly influential Texas backroom politician, he became an important supporter of Woodrow Wilson's campaign and managed his campaign starting in 1911. House served as Wilson's chief adviser on European politics during the First World War and was one of the five American commissioners at the Paris Peace Conference. The artist, Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.…

Zustand: Good. Format is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Typed on watermarked good quality paper. Letter has been folded and has some pencil marks and pencil erasure marks. This letter responds to a letter from Viereck of June 23rd. House provides advice to Viereck retarding contact with Hughes [Charles Evan Hughes] and discussed the 1916 presidential campaign between Wilson and Hughes. He also refers Viereck to Joseph Patrick Timulty, for answers to questions. He then discusses positively several books about Woodrow Wilson. Lastly he thanks Viereck for sending copies of The American to him, and asks about paying the costs "as I do not want to impost upon your generosity." Written in ink, presumably, Viereck's handwriting, at the bottom: Answered: George Sylvester Viereck. George Sylvester Viereck (December 31, 1884 - March 18, 1962) was a German-American poet and writer. The Saturday Evening Post called Viereck "the most widely-discussed young literary man in the United States today". In 1923, Viereck published a popular-science book entitled Rejuvenation, which drew the attention of Sigmund Freud, who wrote Viereck asking if he would write a similar book about psychoanalysis. Viereck went on several tours of Europe, interviewing Marshal Foch, Georges Clemenceau, George Bernard Shaw, Oswald Spengler, Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians, Henry Ford, Magnus Hirschfeld, and Albert Einstein. Viereck became close friends with Nikola Tesla. Tesla dedicated his poem "Fragments of Olympian Gossip" to Viereck, in which Tesla ridiculed the scientific establishment of the day. Edward Mandell House (July 26, 1858 - March 28, 1938) was an American diplomat, and an adviser to President Woodrow Wilson. He was known by the nickname Colonel House, although he had performed no military service. He was a highly influential back-stage politician in Texas before becoming a key supporter of the presidential bid of Wilson in 1912. Having a self-effacing manner, he did not hold office but was an "executive agent", Wilson's chief adviser on European politics and diplomacy during World War I (1914-1918) and at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. In 1919 Wilson, suffering from a series of small strokes, broke with House and many other top advisers, believing they had deceived him at Paris. House helped to make four men governor of Texas: James S. Hogg (1892), Charles A. Culberson (1894), Joseph D. Sayers (1898), and S. W. T. Lanham (1902). After their elections, House acted as unofficial adviser to each. In 1893, Hogg appointed House to his military staff with the rank of lieutenant colonel, a position which came with a title but no actual military responsibilities. He was reappointed by Culberson, Sayers, and Lanham, and was soon known as "Colonel House", the title which he used for the rest of his career. After House withdrew from Texas politics and moved to New York, he became an adviser, close friend and supporter of New Jersey governor Woodrow Wilson in 1911, and helped him win the Democratic presidential nomination in 1912. He became an intimate of Wilson and helped set up his administration. House was offered the cabinet position of his choice (except for Secretary of State, which was already pledged to William Jennings Bryan) but declined, choosing instead "to serve wherever and whenever possible". House was even provided living quarters within the White House. He continued as an adviser to Wilson particularly in the area of foreign affairs. House functioned as Wilson's chief negotiator in Europe during the negotiations for peace (1917-1919) and as chief deputy for Wilson at the Paris Peace Conference. In the 1916 presidential election, House declined any public role but was Wilson's top campaign adviser: "he planned its structure; set its tone; guided its finance; chose speakers, tactics, and strategy; and, not least, handled the campaign's greatest asset and greatest potential liability: its brilliant but temperamental candidate." House helped Wilson outline his Fourteen Points and worked with the president on the drafting of the Treaty of Versailles and the Covenant of the League of Nations. On May 30, 1919, House participated in a meeting in Paris which laid the groundwork for establishment of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). In February 1919, House took his place on the Council of Ten, where he negotiated compromises unacceptable to Wilson. The following month, Wilson returned to Paris. He decided that House had taken too many liberties in negotiations, and relegated him to the sidelines. After they returned to the US later that year, the two men never saw or spoke to each other again. Single sheet, typed on one side Believed to be the unique surviving originally signed letter. Signed.…

Zustand: Good. Format is 8.5 inches by 11 inches. Typed on watermarked good quality paper. Letter has been folded and has some pencil marks. This letter responds to several letters from Viereck of the 7th, 8th and 10th of July. House provides advice to Viereck retarding contact with a number of people in Woodrow Wilson's circle. Viereck was preparing a book on the War. States never met Thomas F. Ryan whom Wilson despised. Suggested he write to Mrs. Wilson and address "the great part she played during the President's illness." Discusses having Viereck up for lunch or tea when he is at Wood's Hole. Handwritten note reads: "Your letters are pleasant reading, and are always welcome." Written in ink, presumably, Viereck's handwriting, at the bottom: Answered: George Sylvester Viereck.

Zustand: Good. Manuscript, entitled The Amazing French, is in longhand on six 5 inch by 8 inch sheets of orange colored writing paper, with writing on 11 of the 12 sides. At the bottom of the 11th page is a handwritten statement by George Sylvester Viereck that the notes were written by Col. Edward M. House. The handwriting has been favorably compared with authenticated examples of House's handwriting found on the Internet. In the Edward M. House papers housed in the Yale Archives is an undated typewritten draft entitled The Amazing French. It is located at Box: 237, Folder: 46, Call Number: MS 466, Series IV. On page 7 there is a reference to 'midsummer 1926'. This handwritten version is presumed to be either an earlier version and/or the source from which the typescript was made. George Sylvester Viereck (December 31, 1884 - March 18, 1962) was a German-American poet and writer.

Viereck became close friends with Nikola Tesla. Tesla dedicated his poem "Fragments of Olympian Gossip" to Viereck, in which Tesla ridiculed the scientific establishment of the day. The essay ends on page 11 with the statement "And that is as it should be, for it makes this world a better place to live in when something like an even measure of good-forture is shared with us by our neighbors and friends."
