Description
DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, two pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 2nd September 1966, to 'My dear' (Foy Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier sends her friend a carbon copy (no longer present) of Vanishing Cornwall, commenting 'The top copies have gone to the publishers, and this looks very blurred to me, I hope you can manage to read it'. She continues to explain 'I have not skimmed it through for errors, there are sure to be many misprints (from the typist) who had to typed from my own far from clean manuscript' and also adds 'Take your time over it, because I do not have to consult with the publisher's reader for cuts and corrections and alterations until after mid-September, when she has finished her holiday'. Du Maurier concludes 'It is the Cornish angle I need from you, as a sort of watching brief, with your father's memory hovering in the background'. VG

Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses.
