The Zoological Society Regent's Park N.W.8 Primrose 2832 29 March. Dearest Ottoline I am so terribly sorry to hear that Philip is ill and under treatment; I have just phoned Milly & she gave me the news poor Ottoline how I wish this had been better - But she tells me that Philip has already benefited a lot from the rest & I do hope with all my heart that he will soon be all right again. And you will also improve your health it was sad you got a chill abroad setting you back again for a spell - luckily we are out of winter & fogs however strange the weather & time should help - I hope Dr Cameron doesn't let you tire yourself & that you are not wearing yourself with anxiety - I can't tell you how sorry how I am - dearest Ottoline. You have I expect heard from Maria about Aldous - we had a long letter Friday. He seems out of the woods thank God but how long till he is fit again Julian is taking a treatment of Prontosil which may or may not clear up the bacteria in the sinuses If not he will have to be operated soon. He is now off work for a week not a depressed as I feared Prontosil is depressing drug & a little better today - he still looks unwell. I'll let you know if he has this operation which I still wish could be avoided you feel that he can't go on like this & must get the sinuses drained. Kos is sad having lost the Irish Sweep - just when he really needed it! He is a bit worried about his home & I am preaching a House Agent to him - I can't see how he'll find a tenant otherwise. Brett is off to her desert again tomorrow. Funny old thing - unchanged really - she looks much older is fat dresses v. badly but is still like a startled bird. I thought you were very wise not to see her. I am outside her Ken; I think she has chosen well to live her life out there. Did you hear Julian got his Royal Society Fellowship the other day He was pleased. With many many wishes for your health & Philip's recovery & so much love. Juliette.

Two leaves 4pp. obl. 4to good condition part printed lined and headed "Guests" part signatures of guests with date and address extracted from a Visitors' Book. Most of the addresses are Californian. Curiously the Huxley's and Virginia Pfeiffer another signatory - sister-in-law of Ernest Hemingway lost their homes and were in flight in the 1961 fire. "Other Hollywoodland residents who lost homes included Henry Becker at 3226 Deronda Mrs. Virginia Pfeiffer at 3210 Deronda and Larry Lattman at 3137 Hollyridge. Homeowner George Mathers suffered head injuries while battling flames and many others sustained damage to their homes.Homeowners around Rodgerton Pelham Place and Deronda fell under threat as the fire pushed up the hill including director Herbert Biberman and his wife actress Gail Sondergaard and his brother artist Edward Biberman. Writer Aldous Huxley and his wife Laura grabbed the manuscript of his current book “Island†as they rushed out of their residence at 3276 Deronda escaping with the clothes on their back and the car a neighbor teen drove out of the garage. They at least possessed another home at 6322 Mulholland Drive in Hollywoodland in which to live." Other signatories include minor actors but I've resisted the temptation to look up all the names total 56 despite their perhaps representing the Huxleys' social circle.

Hopousia is the sequel to JD Unwin's first book Sex and Culture. It was published after his "untimely death" with the help of Aldus Huxley who also penned the introduction to the work. <br /> <br /> Hopousia aims to answer the question of what would be required to reach a utopian society; putting forth two paths based around the main partnership structure of a civilization: monogamy or polygamy. While he posits through this speculative work that either monogamy or polygamy could provide structure for utopia Unwin argues that the most advanced civilizations are those which adhere to policies of strict sexual monogamy with other societies depleted of their sexual energy.
