Hungarian-born Jewish writer and activist (1860–1904) who founded the modern Zionist movement. ALS in German, signed “Th. H.,” one page, 5.75 x 8.75, February 18, 1890. Herzl writes to an unnamed doctor. In part (translated): “I just tried to see you in order to talk about an issue which I forgot to bring up yesterday. Are you inclined or have you objections to engage the Berlin theater representative Entsch with the distribution of our new production? I am not prepared to deal with Ritter ever again, and I was also not pleased with Steiner handling the distribution. From now on I will be handing over to Entsch my things, particularly [his play] The Lady in Black—naturally under the same terms as existed for Ritter. No commission is provided for Vienna, while for Berlin a 5% commission is planned and for all other stages 10% commission. Please respond by wire, as I intend to write to Entsch tomorrow—for now only informing him of our intention to visit with him. The manuscript for printing and all other material will be given to him at a later date. Well, are you in agreement with this?” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds (short edge separations lightly touching a few words), tape remnants on reverse, and a few marginal chips, wrinkles, and light stains, not affecting the text or signature. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
