DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. A.L.S., Daphne, six pages, 8vo, Steeple Aston, Oxford (although on the printed stationery of Old Rectory House, Frimley, Surrey), n.d. ('Wednesday'), to [Foy Quiller-Couch]. Du Maurier announces 'Congratulations on wonderful strategy', remarking 'And then people say minds work slowly in the West Country!' and continues 'The thought of our Committee of Little Ladies intrigues me immensely, and I look forward to the meeting. I can see ourselves walking the countryside with pamphlets, and it will be more embarrassing than any General Election which is rather typical of us both, but nevertheless we will WORK FOR THE CAUSE'. Du Maurier further states that she is sure they will raise £550 ('even if you and I and Miss Dove have to dance a jig in Trevalgan Square to the strains of wireless from Charles Poole's shop - I see myself playing the lute to an Alexandrine potentate, while he hands me a ruby in exchange - while you, more prosaically perhaps, broadcast an appeal (with loudspeaker) from Ready Money Beach to crowd of indifferent trippers…') and further urges Quiller-Couch to obtain an essay by Max Beerbohm on Dr. Johnson and a clergyman, explaining 'I switched on the wireless last night and found this thing being read by Clinton Baddely (sic) He did not say what book it came from, simply an essay by Max Beerbohm; but I'm sure Father would know. It was absolutely perfect, all about a little clergyman….who was bold enough to ask Dr. Johnson a question at an evening party, and he was annihilated in consequence. I believe the essay is famous, but I have never read it before. I feel Father must know it, and if not, would wallow in it. But it really ought to be read aloud'. A couple of very minor, small stains to the edges of a couple of pages, not affecting the text or signature, VG Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. In 1930, apparently around the time of the present letter, the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses. Max Beerbohm (1872-1956) English Essayist, Parodist and Caricaturist. His essay, A Clergyman, to which Du Maurier refers to in the present letter, was first published in 1918. It has been written that the essay captures Beerbohm 'at his funniest, most humane and most tender'.
