DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, two pages, 4to, n.p. (London, 'The Flat'), 15th March 1948, to [Foy Quiller-Couch] ('My dear'). Du Maurier tells her friend that she has been meaning to write to her all week, but has been very busy in London and attending many plays ('which has been rather fun'), and continues to report of a lunch with a gentleman named Fergus, '….I arrived at his office in Lincoln's Inn feeling very queer, having eaten a bad mushroom the night before! He was all sympathy, took me to his lair in Gunpowder Ally, and produced gin, whereupon we sat down to our lunch (of which I ate very little) and then discussed every sort of subject under the sun, from spiritualism to Roman Catholicism and whether ladies at the time of the Crusades remained true to their absent spouses. He really is a most entertaining companion, and has such a funny earnest manner though describing something quite funny. The real purpose of our encounter was to put into action a plot, which had been hatched at Menabilly, and which by now will have been broken to you, either by Fergus himself, or the Bank. We are both prepared for violent protest on your part followed even by your wrath as Justice of the Peace, to which we bow our heads in all humility but the matter has now gone beyond redemption, and I do believe that your anger will spend itself if you recognise that this is truly a memorial to your father'. Du Maurier further continues 'That plaque in Truro cathederal never did seem the right answer, to my mind, and though the X ray machine in the Cottage Hospital was laudable, there is something rather un-inspiring about a machine which would certainly never have driven your father to have written one word of his beautiful prose….That plaque in Truro cathederal is no practical use to you or your mother now, while she is ill, and the X ray machine cannot do anything for her either, so - my dear - let the small and very inadequate private memorial on the part of Fergus and myself be of some use to her, and to you, in the days to come'. Some extensive overall creasing, G
