DURRELL LAWRENCE: (1912-1990) British Novelist & Poet. Small collection of three T.Ls.S. Larry and one brief A.L.S., Larry, on the verso of a colour picture postcard, the typed letters of four pages (in total), 8vo, Sommieres, France, January 1970-May 1972, all to Margaret McCall, a British television producer of arts programmes and wife of the script writer Philip Broadley. Durrell writes to McCall, with whom he evidently enjoyed a very close relationship, discussing family, mutual friends, work projects and other subjects, ‘I’m walking two or three hours a day and have levelled down my soke and wine to a hair. Another kilo and a half to reach optimum; it would be marvellous to do so and forget about all diet’, also discussing his daughter, Sappho Jane, ‘You know Saph has had a sort of bug about Provence, and has steadily refused to come here for about two years now. I don’t really know why or what -- at 18 one is complicated -- but I have let it go; we get on very well on paper and its not really a serious thing. Well now she suddenly announces her intention to come here for Xmas-which is rather surprising -- she obstinately wasted the whole summer. Now what was exercising my mind was this -- if she does come would it be better to give her my full and undivided attention, and provide no excuse whatsoever for jealousy, or suchlike attacks. Its her first quarter at York as well, and I wouldn’t mind seeing how she shapes up. On the other hand the little brute might change her mind and not come. I simply don’t know what to do.’ (19th October 1970). The three letters are accompanied by the original envelopes, one stapled to Durrell’s letter. G to VG, 4 Durrell’s daughter, Sappho Jane, was born in 1951 to the writer’s second wife, Eve Cohen. Sappho Durrell committed suicide by hanging in 1985.
