Description

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, four pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 25th November 1966, to 'My dear' (Foy Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier writes of some repairs being carried out at her home, Kilmarth, commenting 'there is scaffolding all around it, and men hurrying about like ants all over the property - at my expense, of course! My lawyer said we must start on repairs, whether I end up there or not, so a Mr. Pascoe from St. Austell has been engaged to do the work with a team of minions. He is semi-royal, what I mean is I shake hands with him, but he seems to be shy, for whenever I drive up there to see what is going on he backs into the bushes, and two weeks ago nearly fell to his doom down a well in the garden that nobody knew was there' and further writes of the garden and the help of a gentleman from the National Trust, 'I call him U Thant - for he is a sort of mediator between me and the Estate, and wants to save my purse at every step. I wish a leaseholder, as I am, could enter some agreement or covenant with them, but I doubt if I can.' Du Maurier also refers to her work, 'Kits and I are trying to make a film script out of Vanishing Cornwall, so that he could make a documentary film, in colour, out of the book, and if we can get some assurance from a film company or a television company, to back us, he will come down in January and we shall proceed to film it….I imagine the filming would take about a month, or even more, depending a lot on the weather…' A couple of light, small tape stains to the head of the first and final pages, only slightly affecting two words of text, and not the signature, otherwise 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.
