DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., with her initials D du M, two pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 2nd June 1962, to Mr. Staniland. Du Maurier commences her letter by stating 'It's just as well we don't meet round a tea-table; - I think a confessional in church would be far more appropriate. Perhaps Westminster Cathederal (sic) sometime??' and continues 'But I am disappointed all the same. If you should be motoring around here over Whitsun come and trespass, and should my husband come out and accost you, you can say originally you had been coming to tea. He might even ask you in! (But you won't get the silver tea-pot).' Du Maurier further informs her correspondent 'No - I'm sure the Scapegoat was not my father. It's the dual personality thing - it's in a way the male aspect of the second Mrs de Winter versus Rebecca. I think its that old thing of good versus evil, it will keep cropping up all the time' and also remarks 'I've finished my glass-blowers. They won't light any fires, but it's a compassionate book' before also referring to her son, Kits, 'Yes, you are right about my son. Not exactly from the nest, just 21, but my all..(He is my father resurrected, perhaps that is why all relationships seem to me in a muddle these days. Even my dog reminds me of a previous dog that died. Each person has to be like someone else.)' A letter of interesting content for its references to her family, and also her literary work with mentions of Rebecca and the second Mrs de Winter, the latter of whom is responsible for the famous opening line of the thriller novel, 'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again'. The stationery of the present letter features a printed crest to the upper left corner, beneath which Du Maurier has typed 'Husband's crest! Could this be de Winter??'.
