BR TO JULIAN HUXLEY, 23 NOV. 1950
BRACERS 57142. ALS(X). Rice U.
Proofread by K. Blackwell


41, Queen’s Road,
RICHMOND, Surrey.
23rd November 1950.

Julian Huxley, Esq.,
31, Pond Street,
N.W.3.

Dear Julian.

Thank you very much for your letter of congratulation. The Prize gives me much pleasure but I am completely lost in a Benthamite attempt to apportion my pleasure between the honour and the cash.

I returned from America two days ago and I very much hope to see you and Juliette sometime soon but I shall not have any spare time until after my visit to Stockholm on December 10th. Please give Juliette all sorts of messages from me.

Yours ever,
<signed> B.R.

P.S. Partly inspired by you I have taken to emphasising the importance of the population question. I had a first rate row on the subject with the Catholic Church in Australia in the course of which I compelled the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne to apologise publicly.
