DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. Typed Manuscript, unsigned, two pages, 4to, n.p., n.d. The manuscript, which features a few small holograph corrections by Du Maurier, is entitled Doctor Carfax discusses the Long Stone with the Notary from Brittany, Monsieur Ledru and was evidently used by Du Maurier in preparation Castle Dor. The manuscript states, in part, 'Why, man, I pass that long Stone (as we call it) almost every day of my life : have examined it many times with the aid of a ladder - for it has been planted upright since its removal from its original site, a rood or two distant, and was a funeral slab carved to lie horizontally - in which position it was found. You have seen it. I helped your fingers trace the Cunomori or Cunowori filius. The jacet can be deciphered by aid of faith. The full inscription begins at the top of the up-ended stone and is actually undecipherable. I have tried it with a magnifying glass, under various altitudes of the sun. I have taken rubbings. But the granite is so eroded that nobody can faithfully report of that part of the inscription. Knowing what I do of granite I avow that the erosion has been considerable even in my lifetime……' Two paperclip rust stains to the right edge of the first page, only very slightly affecting a few words of text, and with some light creasing. Together with an A.L.S., Syb, by an unidentified friend of Du Maurier, four pages, 4to, Garrick Avenue, London, 14th March 1940, to Du Maurier ('Dearest Daph'). The lady writes a largely social letter to Du Maurier, referring to a payment for a statuette and the illness of a mutual acquaintance, 'You know, Daph, it sounds to me like delayed concussion, which is bad….Angela says if I go down, it might frighten her, which is such rot - people must know when they are ill, I never do believe in hiding facts….I know Mo is a bad patient, very irritable, bless her heart, but to say it may make trouble with the servants if I go is silly….The Dr. says she must be kept cheerful - that's a tall order these days of this foul war. The papers don't help one to be very cheerful, do they?'

Disraeli also writes of a marriage which took place the day before, 'a great concourse, & much cheering in the streets; & would have been in the church, had not the Dean of Carlisle with apostolic naiveté preliminary warned the audience; church crowded, 3 or 4 ladies in the pulpit; pews engaged weeks before', also adding 'I have not seen the Lady, but according to Douro she weighs 11 stone 5lb - I hear a beautiful face, but somewhat ungainly figure….Douro….dined at the Carlton the day before, for he sat next to me. They were married before 12 and at four he was resting in the Park - There I suppose, as Sir Hugh says, are affections….during the ceremony the Lady agitated & went to bed afterwards. At ½ past five they drove off to Stratfield Saye. The Duke walked into the church star & gartered & walked home, much cheered; the mob wanted to take the horses out of Douro's carriage…'.
