Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10, 1874 – October 20, 1964) was an American politician, businessman, and engineer, who served as the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933. After the outbreak of World War I, he became the head of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, an international relief organization that provided food to occupied Belgium. When the U.S. entered the war, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Hoover to lead the Food Administration, and Hoover became known as the country's "food czar". After the war, Hoover led the American Relief Administration, which provided food to the inhabitants of Central Europe and Eastern Europe. After the 1920 election, newly elected Republican President Warren G. Harding appointed Hoover as Secretary of Commerce; Hoover continued to serve under President Calvin Coolidge after Harding died in 1923. He was influential in the development of radio and air travel and led the federal response to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Hoover won the Republican nomination in the 1928 presidential election, and decisively defeated the Democratic candidate, Al Smith. The Great Depression became the central issue of his presidency. In the midst of the economic crisis, Hoover was decisively defeated by Democratic nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election. More

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. 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. More
