1962030150UK 1962. First Edition . Paper. Good. 48mo - over 3 - 4" tall. A Typed and Signed Testimonial Letter from Twice Oscar Winning Playwright Robert Bolt with Regards to F Saxton Memorial Trust and Anthony Rossiter and a copy letter from Aldous Huxley Discussing LSD. The Aldous Huxley copy letter reads - thanking him for his letter and the opening pages of the pendulum book 'I hope you will soon complete this account of your experience; for I am sure it will contain much that the rest of us will find enlightening. My own experiments with mescaline LSD and psilocybin have helped me to understand many things in the fields of art religion and philosophy which before had seemed incomprehensible or had passed unnoticed. Some of these insights were set down in the sequel to The Doors of Perception - "Heaven & Hell". Others I have tried to set forth in the final chapter of my forthcoming utopian phantasy "Island". But there is so much more to be recorded and reflected upon and you I would think are one of the few people adequately equipped by talent and pendulum-temperament to do it.' suggesting it would be a good idea for Rossiter to contact his friend Dr Humphry Osmond 'who first gave me mescaline.' and giving his address. Also includes an envelope explaining the Huxley and Bolt letters in the hand of Anthony Rossiter. Dated 1962. From a large collection of the artists letters. Anthony Rossiter RWA MSIAD was a British landscape painter who was educated at Eton and studied painting at Chelsea Art School from 1947-51. He was a romantic visionary a "poet" whose heaven was the Mendip Hills in Somerset. Gnarled hedgerows tumbling stone walls broken gates reflections in water and ploughed 75fields were all his subject matter. His works also included portraits most notably that of W.H. Auden. Anthony Rossiter began his correspondence with Huxley and Osmond while writing his autobiography The Pendulum Gollancz 1966. From the ecstasy of the creative high to the agonising despair of depression The Pendulum was the creative artist's riposte to the cult success of Doors of Perception Chatto & Windus 1954. Where Huxley induced heightened perception by carefully controlled experiments with mescaline Rossiter's swings came naturally and without warning. Robert Oxton Bolt 1924 - 1995 was an English playwright and a two-time Oscar-winning screenwriter known for writing the screenplays for Lawrence of Arabia Doctor Zhivago and A Man for All Seasons the latter two of which won him the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

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.

1923031234UK 1923. First Edition . Paper. Good. 48mo - over 3 - 4" tall. A Wonderful Original Handwritten Signed Eight-Sided Letter and Envelope from Juliette Huxley to Ottoline Morrell discussing her Relationship with her husband Sir Julian Huxley. Undated but circa 1923. The envelope is addressed to The Lady Ottoline Morrell Kurhaus HovenFreiberg in Brisgau Baden Germany. The letter reads 31 Hillway Highgate N.6. Mountview 5744. Dear Ottoline I should have answered your letter before but I was laid up - oh these eternal bacteriological tournaments & am still in bed slowly & so painfully recovering. I have no patience with my illnesses & resent their catching hold of my heels so cunningly. - This time the specialist came up & I hope will get at the root of the trouble & cure me somehow. Forgive this boring affair - You know too much about ill-health & I should not bore you with mine. J. has written to me that the "marriage" is off. He cabled the girl & jilted her. She is naturally v. upset - & has threatened to come over - meanwhile he has written me and wants to see me terribly - I took ill & had to put him off & shall now see him next week - He now says He never ceased loving me & wants to start over again. And of course cannot wait a day - All so unstable so unreliable - I want a man not a shuttlecock. He is obviously in a highly nervous state clutching at every straw & refusing still to look at himself calmly - He hasn't found his soul in her pocket as he hoped - & so turns to me. When will he understand that no-one but himself can give him peace - he must work & weep & hunger for it & know bitter suffering - I cannot help him until he accepts his defeat - & thereby wins his soul. I must not help him for it would destroy me again. I sound hard - I know but I have to be. The price of peace & life - Don't misunderstand me. By not helping I mean I cannot take him back now at once & listen to his self-justification. I can only stand there & leave the door ajar. And even so I tremble - It's all so minutely adjusted like acrobatic trapezes & every fault will mean more pain. And yet why should I grudge a little more pain Pain has been my enemy until she lived in me - & then she became so much a friend - But before what hell it was - could it begin again I am glad you are with Dr Martin - I think of you getting stronger & living in light - I dreamt I was choosing new curtains last night with you - in a high room; grey panelled. The walls were hung with little stripes of bright colours running up like flames - All day it has been a background to my mind lovely colours like yours. I lie in my huge bed & think of them & of lovely words linked together to make poetry like magic casements opening up on the foam of fairy lands forlorn - one's world becomes so small & almost like a nest as one lies in bed - The house has only one room the room one window - one suffices to oneself. Yes but life lies waiting on the doorstep & there will be the inescapable decisions - there will be Julian poor silly Julian! This is an absurdly long letter - & I haven't said half I wanted - I send you my love; I'd like to discover a lovely poem to send you - I find too many. Matthew Arnold has fallen fresh as a star into my room. I revel in it. You like him It is like Gower St. I'm on the doorstep since half an hour & cannot go away - Because your front door makes such a radiance about everything - & it is so warm.
