Audrey Arellanes wrote many letters to notable people asking for bookplates .
Aldous Huxley took the time to respond.

I have alwats wanted the Huxley bookplate designed by Bruno Bramante.
An article about his bookplate appeared in the November 1947 edition of House and Garden Magazine. I already had a smaller Huxley bookplate which I suspect was posthumous.
The late Richard Schimmelpfeng sent me a signed copy of the Bramante bookplate before he died.

In 1961 Aldous Huxley wrote to Audrey "I don't have a bookplate and wouldn't have time, if I did to strike it into all my books. "
Interesting, Was Mr Huxley on a trip when he wrote the letter or was the bookplate never sent to Mr. Huxley ? Your thoughts would be appreciated.
