DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. Incomplete A.L., unsigned, being the first two pages of a longer letter, 4to, Cornwall, n.d. ('Housekeeping Day', 1930s), to [Foy Quiller-Couch]. Du Maurier exclaims 'Yes - I was right. I knew how it would be if you had possessed Black Magic last night you would have seen Mrs. Burghand at the piano, eyes fixed feverishly on piece of music, demanding in frantic tones that some unseen presence should “Bring her, her chariot of fire, Bring her her arrows of desire“ (a sentiment, I feel, hardly appropriate to the occasion!)' and further amusingly recounts the evening's events, 'My spirits sank as Mrs. Masters from Truro announced that all over England a quarter of a million women were meeting together as we were doing, and that she hoped we would all turn up at the annual Womens Institute gathering at the Albert Hall in February. My spirits sank further when I heard the Out and Out at my side muttering to someone about private theatricals, and finally reached zero when Mrs. Burghand told us of a competition next month when every member was to make a ladies hand bag, the materials of which must not cost more than a shilling! A cup of tea and two buns found me happier…..And, had you peeped through the window half an hour later, you would have been gratified by the spectacle of these twenty five little ladies standing in rows opposite each other, hysterically passing tennis balls one to the other in a strange form of race, Mrs. Burghand at the top doling them out from a mysterious basket, shouting directions as to which side was winning - and later still you would have seen me prancing round….in a riotous display of musical chairs - a game which by some appalling fate I always succeed in winning!!' Some light overall creasing and a few minor tears at the edges, G 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. In 1930 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.
