DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, four pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 13th August 1958, to 'My dear' (Foy Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier writes a social letter to her friend, commenting on the death of a mutual acquaintance, as well as the health of her husband, Lieutenant-General Frederick Browning, 'The Guradsman, as no doubt you will have heard, had three weeks in hospital soon after we last saw you. Whether it was just boiling up and the dry rot in Yggy touched off the steam, I don't know, but he felt so ill when he got up to London that he went at once to see Lord Evans, the Queen's doctor. The result was hospital for three weeks with what they called “nervous exhaustion” and every test was made. The sum total is that his blood was tending to clot, and so, I surmise, pass too slowly through his system including his brain, hence the general fatigue and depression. He has been given pills to thin the blood, and seems better and less depressed, but is still very thin and not the Guardsman of old, and I am afraid that it will all take time. Lord E said privately to me that he did not think he should continue his job - he has two months clear here anyway with the royals in Scotland - but it leaves rather a vacuom (sic) and I feel the subject is better left for the time being.' Du Maurier also refers to her son ('Kits has a sports car, and dashed around in it all day and is quite happy') and her own work ('I am writing short stories, and sneak out to the hut feeling rather guilty as though going to some assignation') and concludes by commenting on the weather, 'Tod keeps talking of the weather as if it had been sent by the Almighty in deliberate spite upon Cornwall and nowhere else. I believe it to be Europe-wide'. 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. Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Army officer of World War II who later served, in 1948, as Comptroller and Treasurer to Princess Elizabeth and, following her ascension to the throne in 1952, became Treasurer in the office of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Browning had suffered a nervous breakdown, as a result of heavy drinking, in July 1957, and resigned from his position at Buckingham Palace in 1959.

[KITCHENER HERBERT]: (1850-1916) 1st Earl Kitchener. British Field Marshal associated with the Boer War. Kitchener also played a central role in the early part of World War I. A fascinating, long A.L.S. C H Powell, by Major General C. H. Powell, fourteen pages, 4to, Wickham, Hampshire, 7th May 1939, to Major A. F. Becke. Powell informs his correspondent 'As you are already aware I raised the Division, & Commanded it till the eve of its embarkation for France, when Oliver Nugent succeeded me' and continues 'To my everlasting regret I was informed by the Chief of Staff that I was too old to command it in the field!' He further reflects 'While I was raising it the Division was my “child”: never in the whole of my 30 odd years service did I have such an interesting experience. Never, till the Great War, did officers have the unique experience of actually raising either a Division or a Brigade….It was a unique experience, and the interest of it all increased from week to week, from month to month, as the Battalions, the Brigades, the Divisional Engineers…..& other units took shape' and also refers to Earl Kitchener, 'Kitchener wanted Ulster to raise our own Artillery, but Carson, for some reason I never knew, told him Ulster couldn't. About March 1915 the W.O. informed me that certain Territorial Artillery was earmarked for the Ulster Division. When, however, the Division was mobilised and equipped (at Seaford) in July 1915, I was informed that Kitchener had “stolen” our Artillery for some other Division of the New Armies. This took me to the W.O. at once to protest. I pointed out that the Division was ready to take to the field but it would now have to be held back till the other artillery was trained! My protests were unavailing: “K's word was inexorable said the Insp. Genl. Artillery! We were told this “other” artillery was now being raised in East Ham & another part of the City of London.' Powell also recounts inspecting the 'other' artillery ('we found men being taught to mount & dismount on wooden horses!!') and urging General Archibald Murray to inspect the 36th Division, 'Murray, however, wrote me that he had only orders (from K) to inspect the 16th Division and the 10th. Two months later he inspected us at Seaford and on learning from him that our Artillery had been “stolen”, & that we wd. consequently be held back I urged on Murray to get K. to send us to Gallipoli, because I was told that Divisions, sent there, did not require their own Artillery as was the case with Divisions sent to France. Murray said that was quite a good idea, & he would mention it to K. However, my suggestion was not taken up; and in due course, the Division embarked for France; and, with a sore heart, I was torn away from my beloved Division. Kitchener & Carson were reported to have had “high words” over Carson's wish to raise an Ulster Division for the Great Cause. Kitchener would not give his consent, and it was some 3 weeks before the order went forth! This delay proved fatal to the Division, because these gallant Ulster Volunteers were straining at the leash to join up in an Ulster Division…' A letter of fascinating content. Some light age wear, otherwise VG Major General Sir Charles Herbert Powell (1857-1943) British Army Officer who served in several campaigns and raised and commanded the Ulster Division of the New Army 1914-15.
