‘I replied “Peter Rabbit at the age of three”.’DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) English novelist. A fine A.L.S., Daphne, six pages, 8vo, Readymoney [Cove], Fowey, 18th October 1942, to Reginald [Davies]. Du Maurier announces 'I can find nothing in Mr. W. H. Smiths' shop in Fowey to compare with what the Tate Gallery can produce. A figure of great falsehood would be the only answer, because - alas - and forgive me - I have been to London and returned again!', further adding that she had spent a fortnight with her husband, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Browning, on Salisbury Plain ('or rather I spent a fortnight under the same roof but scarcely set eyes on him at all'), and continuing to write of the lawsuit for plagiarism that was brought against her in 1941, 'As for the ridiculous lawsuit, I had to answer questions before an American Consul, and the answers were sent off to America. What has happened to them I do not know. One question was “How many novels have I read in my life, and which was the first I ever read”! I replied “Peter Rabbit at the age of three”. The whole thing was quite fantastic', also commenting on her present work, 'Meanwhile, I work like one possessed at my novel of the moment. It is to be called “Hungry Hill”, and is endless' and concluding in an light-hearted tone, 'Have you seen the latest “Fuel-Saving” futility? In Croydon, a girl is to undress behind a screen (transparent) and climb into a bath, whereupon a voice warns her not to use more than 5 inches of water. Upon which she turns off the taps. Whether she throws down the screen or not I don't know. But it seems Croydon leads the field because of this!'. A letter of excellent content. Some very light, extremely minor foxing, VG In 1941 American writer Edwina MacDonald brought a plagiarism suit against Du Maurier, claiming that Alfred Hitchcock's screen version of Rebecca relied heavily on her own work, Blind Windows. Owing to World War II it would be five years before the case was actually heard and a summary judgement took place on 3rd September 1946 in New York and the complaint was dismissed on 14th January 1948 by the District Court. Hungry Hill was Du Maurier's seventh novel, published in 1943. The story spans the century from 1820 to 1920 following five male characters from a family of Anglo-Irish landowners, the Brodricks, who live in a castle called Clonmere.

Kipling acknowledges receipt of his correspondent's letter ('and need not say how flattered I feel at your proposal to include me in your scheme') and remarks 'But I fear that verse of the type that would best suit a latter day “Tribute to Oriana” is altogether beyond my powers, and I have never had any luck when I have attempted verses of occasion'. With blank integral leaf. A letter of good association and interesting content. Annotated in ink and pencil in an unidentified hand at the head of the page and with light overall foxing, G Sir Walter Parratt (1841-1924) English organist and composer. In 1899, at the instigation of Parratt, Master of the Queen's Musick, thirteen British composers contributed songs to a collection modelled on The Triumphs of Oriana, entitled Choral Songs in Honour of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, published on the occasion of the Queen's 80th birthday.

Lister explains that he is in Germany for the celebrations of Rudolf Virchow's 80th birthday and will return to London on Monday evening, remarking 'if it would suit you to look in at Park Crescent early on Tuesday morning and report upon the Tuberculosis work it would be satisfactory….'.

LUAP Joy Ride, 2022 Watercolour and Ink on Paper Signed on Verso 15 x 10cm (5¾ x 3¾ in.) About LUAP, was born in Grimsby in 1982. He is a multidisciplinary British artist who dynamically fuses adventure and art through his paintings and photography. Using different mediums and techniques and drawing from his own experiences, he tackles mental health, the climate and isolation head-on. LUAP's most iconic series features his adult-size Pink Bear. The candy-coloured teddy accompanies LUAP on his travels and serves as a metaphor for discovery and exploration. LUAP's style, although hinting at abstract expressionism, is not confined to one system. His works explode with positive energy, bringing together the bold colours of Pop Art and the soft grunge of modern Urban Art. Exploring existential subjects, but with a contemporary feel, his craft stands alone in its composition and provoking content and subject matter. His Pink Bear suit, in particular, follows LUAP up mountains and across cities to remote spots in far-away places. The bear acts as a tool to juxtapose and create stark contrasts with a chosen context, existing somewhere between reality and make-believe, and youthful innocence and corruption. LUAP has exhibited alongside internationally renowned artists and created bespoke artworks for exclusive Member Clubs. He also works with charities to raise money. A Pink Bear print recently sold for three times the listed price at Christie's. LUAP has featured in publications such as TimeOut, Design Week, Mail Online, GQ, Fad, and more.
