"He's going great guns with his Irish model", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. Menabilly Par Cornwall, 26th February 1963, 'Bing', three pages, to Maureen Baker-Munton, ('Dearest Maureen') an amusing letter on errant dogs and children. 'I've been meaning to write for some time, and really have not much excuse, except that I've been working on a film script for that fearful Rabbo, who probably wont ever make use of it anyway! But it kept me busy during the cold winter days, and you know how I loathe not working at something'. Of the canine human relations; 'he's still Ruler of all he surveys. Moper humbly giving up his chair, if demanded, and as for me, if I now move in bed at night, there is a fearful warning mutter from the lair on the floor beside me. I suppose it means my movements "disturb" the pasha in his bed. It's a bit much. Moper said he wrote pages to Bim after Christmas, all about the boat, and the yard, and his new car - now come, Alfa Romeo - and is hard chairy because Bim never answered it. I suppose he got it?... Re the Alfa - strictly entre nous - it's a shilling, from my point of view. I loved the Peugeot. This new one is like the sports cars that Rab would have, only more cramped! Still Moper thinks it's terrific, so that's the only thing that matters. As for that Rabbo, he's over in Dublin again for a "few days". He's going great guns with his Irish model, one does under where it will end up'. She considers 'I feel it my duty to work up a script for him. I've done one about Ireland, a sort of sequel in a way to Hungry Hill, which would be grand for some menace like Peter O'Toole to do. But I can't see Peter O'Toole asking for Rabbo to direct!'. Daphne continues 'Flave has gone mad on painting again. Says she can't stop, night and day, and painted about 14 pictures in one week. I'm so glad. (I wonder if its a sex substitute? Could be) Anyway, I've always said she had talent'. Of the Glass Blowers; 'Moper has an advance American copy, but I'm sure he isn't reading it, tho he takes it solemnly up to bed every evening. Perhaps it is a fearful Tell Him!' Finally 'talking of honks, I think that Harold Wilson, new labour leader, is oddly menacing! Do you vaguely see what I mean? In a stalwart, rather powerful sort of way?! I'm sure he will be the next Prime Min. I'm so bored with the Govt, I'm practically turning Labour anyway'.

"Branwell apparently took laudenum, but quite a lot of people did in those days...", Daphne du Maurier: (1907 - 1989) British Author, T.L.S. 'Bing', Menabilly, 24th July 1960, two page letter, to Mrs Maureen Baker-Munton, nee Luschwitz, ('Dearest Maureen') on her trip to Italy with her son Christian Browning (Boo) and on the Bronte family. 'Boo and I had an amusing if exhausting time in Italy, its not really my idea of rest to rush from place to place, doubled up in a sports car, but he wanted to see Venice and Rome, so far apart, and so we had to dash around'. 'Boo was an amusing companion, but her anti-culture, so that he took not the slightest interest in old buildings, or historical doings, or churches, or any of the things that make Italy so beautiful... Boo wanted to "shop" all the time, or anyway window-gaze, and I find this a fearful Tell Him! Especially as gramaphone records are his favourite buy, which he could get in the King's Road!' She continues 'he drove superbly... not put off by Continental signs, or anything, and did not go too fast until we got on one very good autostrade, with no-one but ourselves on it, and then he let his Austion Healey rip. It seemed very fast to me, though I wasn't nanny, and afterwards he said "Do you know what we were doing?" "No," I said, and he laughed "110!" (Dont tell Moper!)'. Daphne continues 'you read the wrong "Anne Bronte". The Life by my rival, Winifred Gerin, is much better. Anne's novels are good, but not so gripping as Jane Eyre or Wuthering Heights. Branwell apparently took laudenum, but quite a lot of people did in those days hoping to ward off consumption, or for tooth-ache, and one doesn't really know how much he took. That's the trouble with his life, so much is still sumise... one longs for family letters, which would reveal more'.Daphne wrote a biography on Branwell, "The Infernal World of Branwell Brontë" (1960), and had become aware that she was not the only one undertaking such a project. Winifred Gerin OBE, (1901 - 1981) British Biographer published her biography on Branwell Brontë the following year.

The largely social letters from father to son discuss family and business matters, as well as his social activities, participating in games of polo, tennis and bridge etc., in part, 'I think that you have made an excellent choice of a career in the Mercantile Marine & sincerely hope that you will stick to your first choice & take it up seriously. If you have to work hard to get into it, put your back into it & determine to pass any necessary exam. I was never in favour of you going into the church & think that Mummy only favoured it from sentimental reasons…..I don't want you to stop uselessly at school too long. It is only a waste of money. Excuse me for talking so frankly to you, but you are old enough to understand old boy, & I hope you will do your best to help me. Times in tea are very hard, money is getting scarcer & scarcer' (29th June 1931), 'It has been raining all the afternoon & I have just got to the office after having given all the pluckers leave. We have any quantity of leaf on the bushes & can't get it off owing to the rain, which is very disappointing' (11th August 1931), 'I chaffed Betty [his daughter, Jimmy's sister] about her shyness. What is the good of being shy. You both are as good as anyone else, so hold your heads up & look about you…..PS The most important part of my letter is at the end. You will be interested to hear that I am engaged to be married to Mummy's greatest friend Miss May Wood. When we are going to be married I cannot say but I know that you two will love her for she is very very jolly…..' (19th November 1931), 'Your letter congratulating me on my engagement old Boy is very much appreciated, & I am very glad to know that both you & Betty are pleased about it. I think that it will be a great thing for you & Betty having a Mother's care once more' (14th January 1932), 'I am not quite certain what your job in a tea broker's office would be, but I consider it a very good opening & advise you to put your best foot foremost. I never had such a good start, so hope that you will make the best of a real good opportunity……You may be said to have your foot on a very good bottom rung of the ladder of life. It is now up to you to make good by your own efforts' (18th February 1932), 'I think your Captain must be a bit of a brute to act as he did. Nasty tempered fellow apparently? You say that he hacked your shins. About your writing, it is very legible indeed but it might be improved by being a little bigger. I've told you about this before…..' (26th February 1932), 'I took Mr. C. for a long jungle walk……& he was attacked with malaria in the afternoon his temperature rising to 104◦. He is going home shortly & wants a thorough over hauling at the Tropical School of Medicine……Mr. Elder now has a wireless set on which he can get Paris & Moscow. The music pieces are more or less OK but it is impossible to hear when people are talking. Atmospherics I understand are the trouble' (12th March 1932), 'Sir Stanley Jackson, the famous cricketer, was Governor of Bengal - I should say is - but he is on the point of retiring' (26th March 1932), 'I was very amused to see that the players were done down by Duleepsinhji and Pataudi in the Gentlemen & Players match. Hardly any one else but those two did anything' (17th July 1932), 'I have had to…..give evidence that I gave information about a murder that was committed in Shamshernagar. I know nothing about the murder but the mere fact of my having given the information has dragged me into the case' (3rd September 1932), 'I didn't like hearing of your experience in that boat with Francois, & it is a good thing that the old man came and rescued you. I know that messing about in a boat along the coast is very dangerous…..I do not think that I shall be able to afford to let you join the Territorials. I am very hard up & there is no improvement in the tea trade' (14th September 1932), 'Do you remember my telling you of Mr. Hall - a Lyon's taster. He is here again & on his way to Calcutta…..He says that you are very lucky to have secured your job' (6th October 1932), 'I was up…..yesterday to lunch with the Allans…..& much enjoyed the outing. Elisabeth (sic) Allan is now getting £12,000 per annum. She is a very good actress, & has gone to Hollywood' (8th January 1933).

The trouble with conkers is that they take such a long time to play. When I play I usualy [sic] take wild swipes at the other conker. I usualy [sic] miss or get tangled up in the string above the other conker…..'), also discussing the differences between the BBC and Irish television, commenting on watching the Festival of Remembrance on television ('There were acts from the Army, Navy and Air Force. It was rather like the Royal Tournament'), enquiring whether his father has secured a job, asking for a car racing set for Christmas, informing them that he looks smart in a uniform and has done some 'square bashing', 'left, right, and all that sort of thing. You can't go wrong if you obey every order and do everything in a machine like fashion', expressing concern at the difficulty he is having at school in Canterbury ('I think I told you that we've go[t] Robertson for Latin who is [as] a slippery 'Bastard' as they make them'), discussing his employment with the Home Office ('without knowing more about working at a prison or borstal entails, I haven't committed myself one way or another….the establishment section….are arranging for me to have a tour around Canterbury Prison one day to give me more of an idea as to what “penal” work would involve') and in immigration ('I have become a very suspicious person these days - everybody is guilty until proved innocent; a natural premise for immigration work. To be more precise, this would appear civil service philosophy in all departments - except perhaps in H.M.
