"They are just like silly little boys...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 22nd July 1977, 'Bing', one page, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), a thank you letter detailing plans for a future visit and the behaviour of her errant dogs. 'It really is wonderful of you to come down and help the silly Bing with the chores and the doggies. Find out exactly what the return fare will be plus sleeper... and you must get some finery at the shop in Fowley!' Daphne continues 'dont laugh, I bought a real Football for the men this morning. I do wonder what Mac will think of it. I made an error after lunch by giving them their first bone - half a marrow each. They nibbled away happily for a time on separate lawns, and then Mac got bored with his, and Kensie hid with his under a bush, growling like a wolf. Mac was so surprised, and I think offended, that he came to me in the Long Room and lay on the sofa with his head on my lap, as if it say "Ken and I have fallen out." So presently I went out and took away both bones, and said "Bones all gone." Kenzie then came to make up, and they started kissing and giggling together! They are just like silly little boys.'

"Novels are different, and are something that well up from the unconscious...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 15th November 1977, 'Bing', two pages, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), a good long letter about what inspires her to write. 'You see, the thing is, when I do a book it either has to be inspired by historical-known people like my Bacon brothers or Branwell Bronte, or my own family Geralds, de M's, Glass Blowers. Novels are different, and are something that well up from the unconscious. So I'm afraid people with whom I've had no particular interest or connection, like the H's, just would not inspire me! So put this in a tactful way to them. I wish I could be inspired. I'm jotting down a few Notes about my Bakers of Kilmarth, who were here in the 1600s, but I cant find anything definite about them as personalities, apart from the intriguing plaque in the church at Tywardreath about Jane Baker, who dies in 1636. Probably just as well I am not fired to be a working because those men would not give me much time, with their football after tea! And walkies, etc,etc. They are used to me doing letters at the typewriter, that is routes, and I can throw a ball while I am tapping, but I could hardly do this in mid-inspiration!

Daphne continues 'as it's not a case of "Mummy pay" I wonder who stands the damage for hiring the fishing-boat and the helicopter! (cant you see Mope organising it all had he been here. " No, duck, dont stand like that, the bloody chopper will cut your head off!" she remarks 'I liked old Cliff, we got on famously, and I think he enjoyed it... There was even a make-up woman, to do something to Bing's lashes which I've never madeup in my life!'

'I keep thinking of your feelings tomorrow, Saturday, as Kristen goes off. I know how I would have felt over Kits, and indeed, would do today, if he was suddenly off filming for two years. It really is a long time, and no good saying it will soon pass. The only hope will be to go in a business trip with Bim, or Kristen somehow to get a cheap holiday fare home for a hol - even so. You will miss him so.' Daphne continues recounting 'I was glued to Monty's funeral, and nearly pass out when they play the Last Post. Could so imagine Moper watching from Up Over and saying "God look at old Gerald Templer, he's aged". She continues 'more memories after the 9 o'clock news, when they did a documentary on Edgar Wallace's life'. 'Moper' was Daphne's pet name for her late husband Sir Frederick Browning. Daphne refers to British Army Officers Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein and Field Marshal Sir Gerald Walter Robert Templer. She also refers to the English writer and War Correspondent Edgar Wallace.

'I wish to enlist your co-operation in a political matter, regarding devolution in Scotland. As West Highlanders, we must stand up for our rights, and insist that although we live south of the border our people respect our wishes, feed us on demand, relinquish their chairs, in return for which we will guard their homes. I am in touch with Aberdeen brothers who are of the same opinion. Electric fires must also be turned on when the weather is inclement, and in every room, but the front door left open so that we can perform guard duties to our satisfaction. Meals consist of a snack at breakfast, a main lunch no later than 1.P.M. Afternoon Tea at 4,15, a Fish supper at 6.30. and a snack at 8.P.M. dropped from some person's fork. Regarding Afternoon Tea I must tell inform you that my Lady has this winter been making toast for herself, spread with jam. By nudging her knee I have obtained for myself jam on top of my Butter Crinkle biscuits. Chocolate Fingers to follow. An intent gaze plus a muttered whine never fails to win attention'.

Kilmarth, 17th August 1975, 'Bing', one page, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), a good letter about her son Kits (Christian) Browning's visit with his children. 'That amazing hot weather all the time, and they were out on the beach every day with pasties - heaven knows how they could eat pasties every day... they brought a rather thick headed girl of 17, who was not much use, and used to sit humped in the kitchen doing damn all!' 'As for Missa Grace, she is the most engaging little creature. Great character, and such a wicked first. The re-incarnation of Mary Anne. She likes to dance in her Daddy's arms and try to sing at the same time.. honestly! The boys all dote on her. Heaven help us in about twenty years time or less. Track in an old Person's Home! Perhaps she will keep me! "Of course my grandmother used to tell me the story of her life, I know it all." (Which I damned well wont!). Of her dog Old Moll being put on a special diet, 'he is ravenous, and looks up after I give him a special Nefricious Diet, as if to say "Where the hell is my routes beef?" Amusingly when writing of her daughter Flave's travels she remarks 'I dont envy her! Would far rather sit here with my old man at my feet looking out across the field, where I have five cows grazing and their blissful five calves. I've missed my vocation and should have been a farmer' Finally she comments 'My book Golden Lads comes out on September 1st and I will get you a copy. You may find it a bit heavy going, because it's rather scholarly, but not too much so!'

Care of Mrs Baker-Munton') an amusing letter where Daphne gives voice to her Westmoreland Terrier 'Moray the Mensa' and imparts advice to Mr Wibby. 'I thank you for the dog towel you kindly sent me to wipe my paws when soiled with the shingle on Par Beach. One error. You should have inscribed the towel with a crossword puzzle that I might have solved while my paws were being dried. Perhaps some other time. A hint to the wise. If you feel like being kissed by Mrs Maureen, you only have to roll over on your back, wave your paws in the air, bare your teeth in a smile, and she wont be able to resist you. Best to do this when the telly is playing soft music by some classical composer'. Together with a signed Christmas card, 'Bing', 1977 and a colour photograph of Daphne with one of her Westies.

"All Bing's things put down sale-room Par!", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 21th August 1974, 'Bing', one page, to Monty Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Bim'), a reflective letter asking for guidance on the lease at Kilmarth. 'The original suggestion that I should have a lease of Kilmarth for my lifetime only, came from me - I might "go" next year, or live till 97 like my aunt in Par. So a gamble on the part of the estate. but talking it over with Kits he said they really were very fond of Kilmarth, and the Estate suggestion that the property should revert at once to the Estate if Bing was scarcely cold in her grave, seemed to him unfair. He said why couldn't my family have first refusal of carrying on the lease, on the understanding it would never be sublet or used for commercial purposes'. Daphne is advised that with this stipulation a lease may not be granted at all and she laments I have visions of poor Bing "going", and as I say scarcely cold, before the Rashleigh's demand an instant clearing out of all the furniture so that they can crumb to come in. And one would hate things to be done in a hurry. All Bing's things put down sale-room Par! And no time to decide who has what among the family. And I bet the Rashleigh's would instantly demand a great decorating even if the place was spotless.'(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

'Your lovely gift of bed-socks could not have come at a more appropriate moment! My right leg gets colder than my left - circulation - demands a soft bedsock at night plus a hot water bottle, and I'm damned if I am going to wait until the winter!' She continues 'I got the same advice... to walk as much as possible and to swim, so I plunge myself into the icy water every afternoon and nearly die in consequence, although I must confess the shock tones me up and I feel much better afterwards'. Finally adding 'I was so sorry poor Martyr was indeed living up to his name. The telephone (yours) out of order, he struggled to a call-box to speak to me about the Kilmarth lease, he will have told you, and I felt Saint Sebastian was'nt in it, for the saintly courage!'

'I've been meaning to send you this, just re-issued by old Lady Vyvyan, I bought several copies to help her, and it is so good, and people who love working on their gardens will appreciate it'. On their forthcoming meeting 'I do look forward to you visit on Fri or Sat week... and - this is rather waine - but would you be offended if I offered to pay your fare??! The thing is you are bringing bulbs, to put in, and will probably do our lunch, and it does seem rather a chore to come on a visit "for a rest" and to be put to the chores, inside and out!' Of her dog Old Moll 'and his awful ploy of getting into my routes chair to watch T.V. in the evening. "Oh darling" I say, "you really are rather selfish, that's Mummy's chair." He blinks. Does not stir. Honestly what slaves we are... Love to all, workers, slaves and martyrs'. The book Daphne is referring to a 1972 re-print of her friend Lady Clara Coltman Vyvyan's (1885 - 1976) book "Letters from a Cornish garden".(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

'One is rather reduced down here where prezzies are concerned, all the shops are becoming so downgraded... Individuality is a thing of the past'. Of the oil crisis 'I wonder how your central heating is standing up. Kits who is on oil got no supplies last week... and they all froze at Tithe Barn. Kits said it was like Mena at its worst in depths of winter... But those bloody Arabs. I can't think why we dont all retaliate by not trading with the buggers, or freezing their beastly assets. Or send paras to the oil fields! I said this to the Col. Gough, Airborne Security chap at Browning barracks... and he was much amused, and then asked me to read the Lesson in the pulpit of Annual Airborne Forces Memorial service! I said I should faint dead away, but would jump at the onto the oil fields any time'.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

"Am I psychic I ask myself?",Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 27th January 1972, 'Bing', one page, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), an interesting letter on the difficulties of her elderly relatives and of her new book. 'My old aged folk O.K. but Billy has got follie de grandeur, and said to Chris the nice nurse "I like to have two housemaids downstairs. You must see about getting more help!" As for Dora she has started a new trick of throwing water on her sitting room fire. The daily has to clear up every morning. I am in full spate with the book, and it goes well. I doubt if it will hit the headlines as in your dream, but I personally think it's so funny when Bim reads it his piles will burst anew. The heroine is an old girl of 80 (Gladys!), with a houseful of adopted boys, and the engineers resistance against invasion when it crashes on the cornish shore. No need to tell you that I had scarcely started writing about helicopters overhead and roped of beaches then the Drumbeat scare began! Am I psychic I ask myself?'. The plot Daphne details here is from her 1972 book Rule Britannia in which she imagines a future where the UK's withdrawal from the EEC brings the country to the verge of bankruptcy. The heroine is not called Gladys in the final version, but the book is dedicated to the actress Gladys Cooper who had been one of her father Gerald du Maurier's leading ladies.

"I had Interpol on to his movements...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 11th September 1972, 'Bing', one page, to Monty, Maureen and Kristen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen and Bim, and Kristen'), a strange and jokingly accusational letter regarding their recent stay and a missing pen. 'Alas the house has been searched for the pen, but no sign. I am wondering now if it got in the sheets when you stripped your bedding... Knowing the haste with which laundry was packed off after your departure (not by me) I can only surmise... Meanwhile would a pathetic little black pen, well bitten, found in Moper's drawer, be a sop? Trouble is, I don't know if it works. Cant see a filling mechanism, but maybe the Martyr could devise something, or even do another little pub crawl as a pretext to get it fixed? No, Kristen, it wasn't a pub crawl. it was a secret rendezvous at the Strip-Tease Club at Newquay. I had Interpol on to his movements. Meanwhile, note in next year's Diary, the Feast of the Forty Holy Martyrs is next March, I looked it up on my Missal'.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)
"I was expecting a bench behind a pillar...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 21st November 1972, 'Bing', two pages, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen') a good long letter wishing Maureen a happy birthday with accompanying signed card and detailing an invitation to Westminster Abbey. 'I couldn't help it, but this birthday card of the two penguins so caught my eye, I had to get it for you. Friends of Teddy's! Many happy returns of the 23rd, and I hope I've got the date right this year. Rather a shilling anti-climax, but I am sending you under a seperate post a Rule Britannia, to add to your (crumb) collection of D.du M's. I also hope you have a happy weekend, the poor Martyr not prostrating himself too much, and the Kristen, if home for half-term, doing his stuff in the garden but not making Mum break her back also'. Daphne continues; 'well, my news of any import i that I had an invite for the Westminster Abbey do yesterday. My heart sank, and then I remembered how Moper would say "Good God, duck, of course you must go." So literally for his sake I caught the train Sunday (very slow, men working on the line!) spent Sunday night with Tess and Co... Them a hired car to the Abbey (me in cast-off brown frock of Tess's, and me Derry & Tom fur coat, plus fur hat, Moper's brooch at neck, so looked O.K.) and off to Westminster. To my amazement I was shown a front seat on the nave - I was expecting a bench behind a pillar - and thanked God I had on shoes and not travelling booties! Opposite was old Edward Ford, and I think Dick Colville, and Hanriette, so obviously it was front seats in naves for ex members of Household, and I was deeply touched to think I represented Moper. On either side of me two buffers I didn't know, but I bet Moper would have said "Dont be silly, duck, its old Tootie Westmorcombe and Giles Fiddlearse", but honestly, I am no good at remembering faces... Well I expect you saw the whole thing on telly, so I need'nt describe it. She looked terrific, and the whole procession the same. I was so glad I went. And the thing that "sends" me is that fan-fare of trumpets'. 'Moper' was Daphne's pet name for her late husband Sir Frederick Browning.

"I am determined to stick by Moper in London or in Timbucktoo", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. 'Bing', Menabilly, 9th September 1957, two page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') Daphne tells of her fight to save her marriage, 'I have had a long and serious chat with him about the future, not dwelling on either London trouble or Fowey trouble by saying... that he must not continue in the habit of rushing backwards and forewards in the sleeper from London to Mena every weekend... so I have told him I am prepared to come up and be with him in London, and organise a home up there', Daphne considers 'I don't think it is right for him to go back to where he was - a scappy life up there for three days, and then two days down here - no man can stand it and there comes a breaking point in sheer physical health', she continues 'at the moment his emotional mood is "Oh, I have made so many people unhappy", which is perfectly true, but no good comes of merely sitting and down and moping about it', of her husband's mistresses 'if they see I am determined to stick by Moper in London or in Timbucktoo and not leave him, the desire may go out of the game... after listening to the most inspiring talk I have ever heard on T.V. by the Catholic arch bish of Liverpool on marriage, I feel I must try and make ours go the right way, even at this late stage'.(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 20th November 1970, 'Bing', one page, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen'), an interesting letter regarding premonitions. 'Forgive the scrappy note - I shall send flowers as tiny gift through Interflora - but am feeling dazed after having had a foul abscess on a tooth! Never had one before. it's my great age. Bore it for three days, then moaning went to little Mr Mitchell... who took one look at it and seized his forceps on the spot! I feel like someone in the 18th century having a tooth drawn... but the curious thing was, and it always happens, just like getting dizzy when I was describing post-drug vertigo in The House on the Strand, I had been writing about a very vain woman in Jerusalem who lost both front teeth in the via Dolorosa... and lo and behold, the very next day I awoke with my tooth throbbing!! As I have got to have the other people in this short story have worse mishaps I am dreading my next episode'.

Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 27th December 1970, 'Bing', one page, to Monty, Maureen and Kristen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen and Bim, and Kristen'), a post Christmas update letter detailing 'as for the mug I hardly dare confess to what use it has been put. My first "denture"!... Needless to say, wearing it is hell, like having an india rubber stuck in my palate, and so it reposes all the time in the mug, unless "company" arrives, when I bung it into place to greet them with a smile. But I'd rather be a granny crone then wear it always!' She continues 'Christmas with the old girls went down like a bomb, even cousin Dora in a good mood, and showing off to show she was more spry then aunt Billy... Her nurse, dressed to kill in leopard skin and cossack hat... was life and soul of the party'. Finally she adds 'I am now alone, having cooked myself a superb steak for lunch which you couldn't get at Cordon Bleu, and took Moray for a scramble in the snow. Kilmarth looks glorious... Last night I swooned before Frank Sinatra on the telly, and couldn't wish for more'.

"I shall probably shock myself let alone other people...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, A.L.S. Kilmarth Par Cornwall, 27th September 1970, 'Bing', one page, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen') a good update letter detailing her writing progress. 'I'm thankful to be free of all the guests, it sounds so mean to say so, but I cannot concentrate on writing when other people are in the house. I've got the Venice story and the Crete story corrected by Sheila, and I'm now on the Irish one, which is going to be rather sexy - the first one these lines for years! I shall probably shock myself let alone other people. I dont know how you can want to write on a hol, because it's such a waste of seeing a new place. Brew a story, yes, but not sit down and write it, with lovely new walks all around you!'. Daphne continues to update on her housekeeper 'Esther goes to Majorca and I bet she picks up a new menace. She had a young schoolmaster in tow all summer (rather sinister with a beard!) but she's sick of him now and onto pastures new'. Of her children, 'all my lot well, and it was lovely having Rabbo for two days while he took photographs of me for Penguins, probably a murderess will emerge. Flave, like you, is doing up her house by herself, ladders on stairs, emulsion on walls, she says it's compulsive and she cant stop!' Daphne is referring to writing "Don't Look Now", "Not After Midnight" and "A Border Line Case". All of which would form part of her collection "Not After Midnight: Five Long Stories" (1971). "A Border Line Case" did indeed shock on its publication as it 'depicted incest explicitly enough to shock readers when it appeared', Auerbach, N. (2002). Daphne du Maurier, haunted heiress.

'Bing', Menabilly Par Cornwall, 14th May 1970, three page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') an amusing letter regarding a recent holiday with her son Christian Browning, wife Olive and her grandchildren. 'Crete a mixture of unknown southern Ireland and Cornwall, the same rugged wild scenery, and the most perfect spot we chose... Kits very good at driving over the very nanny mountain roads, exclaiming "My god it's like Lovell coping with a Luna module going round these bloody bends''. 'I did enjoy my week with the lads, they are just the right age for coping with, I dont think a teenager would be so easy because at 15, 16 they can suddenly go rather sullen and bad-moody, though heaven knows Kits never did... I can see Rupert in later life as a very witty unmarried Oxford don, with an eye to the ladies, strolling up and down Oxford High St, and producing amusing Essays now and again on some erudite but slightly frivolous theme like "The Middle Ages and the High-Heeled Shoe".(All rights are reserved by The Chichester Partnership and no written materials may be reproduced in part or in full without the express prior written permission of The Chichester Partnership c/o Curtis Brown Group Ltd)

The thing is, I am being firm about no dogs here, unless the guest is prepared to sleep with, and keep a guest dog, in the children's wing, and it doesn't really work well, and spoils the holiday for the guests...It's Moray who is the trouble, he either bobs or frights, and no one can settle to peace and quiet'. She outlines options for sleeping arrangements assuring Maureen 'all the rooms have wash basins. I do sound so like a hotel!' Daphne continues 'Tessa had a faky weekend here with David, whom I likes enormously although he never draws breath and is very restless, rather like Prince Philip, but he could have been nervous of me!'

She is pretty demanding, and a bit of a cope, and falls out with everyone, daily helps, kind neighbours, tradesmen, the Lot. However, poor old brute, at 92.. what can you expect?' Daphne is in the process of leaving Menabilly for Kilmarth and outlines her interactions with the workmen in the house. 'I'm a bit mad, because they all get such giggle whenever I'm up there, perhaps because I am so jam-along with them... or to Stephen, the youth cleaning out a lavatory "H'm. you've been given a dreary job to do to day. I should strike if I were you"... "Now, Lady Browning, do you want a large mirror on that wall?" (pointing to my bathroom) "What on earth for?"
