DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne du Maurier, two pages, 8vo, Menabilly, 2nd May 1962, to Mr. Staniland. Du Maurier informs her correspondent, in full, 'Please continue as my Champion - after all, you are the only one! You know much more about our friend R.B. than I do. I had never heard his name. But being a hermit “out back” perhaps that's not surprising. The truth is, it seldom does much good to answer critics, unless one gets the answer in smack on the following day. See what happens. There is another critic who writes in Punch, a Philip Hengist, who when criticising a book by Marguerite Steen some weeks ago on the Terry family, accusing her of writing “Daphne du Maurier-isms” and gave an example of a sentence I would never use. I wrote back at once, and said I did not see why I should be made the target for other writer's literary lapses, and would he give me an example of a “Daphne du Maurier-ism” from my own work, which I would be prepared to accept. No answer! So you see… It's a lost cause. Thank you for the Penguin blurbs on the books, I was much impressed. I still think The Scapegoat probably my best effort, followed by Cousin R.'

(Bournemouth), n.d. (14th October 1885), to Miss [Mary Grant] Carmichael.

O'CASEY SEAN: (1880-1964) Irish Dramatist. T.L.S., Sean O'Casey, two pages, 4to, Torquay, Devon, 12th February 1958, to Lewis Funke, Drama Editor at The New York Times. O'Casey announces 'I haven't been able to devote a second to searching out an article that might or mightn't suit you, for two reasons - an ailing eye and the necessity to withdraw my play from the Tostal Council', further adding 'I daresay, you have heard of the blast that came from the Palace of Dublin's R. Catholic Archbishop which thundered out that No Votive Mass would be said if any play by Joyce or O'Casey was performed during the Tostal Festival. Bang!' O'Casey continues to explain 'The Tostal Chairman chose a Director about whom I had some doubts… he was frightened of the play. He couldn't make himself comfortable with the blend of realism and fantasy, though there's less of it than in the BISHOP'S BONFIRE… I got a letter from the Globe Theatre… the Globe told me that they considered the play 'unproducable'; that they wouldn't commit themselves to a production till I signed an authorisation giving their producer (Director) the power to change the play “according to his requirement”. I answered this by a brief note…Then came a letter from the Chairman saying “…I am instructed to ask you to, if you would, change your attitude towards the question of negotiating such alterations.” Negotiations! You'd think it was a summit meeting. So I have withdrawn the play… I have a hunch that the Archbishop's blast shook them a little' O'Casey also writes regarding the problems with the publication of his book, The Green Crow, and a letter sent by the publisher to the Irish Embassy regarding censorship, before finally musing, 'There you are Louis - Tostal Council, Globe Directors, Censorship Board, Archbishop, and Customs Officer, not counting Legion of Mary, C.Y.M.S. Monsignors, and Canons, all in a battle array against a bird, sniping at the Green Crow as it flies past, or perches for a minute on an Irish tree. I am just letting you know the news; not in any spirit of complaining, for I am used to it all by now; and it doesn't take a feather outa me.' A letter of interesting content. Accompanied by the original envelope signed ('O'Casey') by him in the return address to the verso. One minor paperclip rust stain to the upper edge, only slightly affecting a few words of text, otherwise VG Lewis B. Funke (1912-1992) American Drama Editor and Critic for The New York Times.
