| Description | Three manuscript letters from Daphne du Maurier to 'Tod' [Maud Waddell] in one envelope: the first letter [undated, possibly December 1942] discusses 'Tod's' health, presumably after an operation, and offers financial support and a calendar of images of her children [not included]; the second letter [dated 01 January, presumably 1943] discusses 'Tod's' health and stay in the convalescent home, reading of 'Forsaking all Others', military intelligence, a critique of the American forces, and 'Tommy' [Frederick Browning] receiving a New Year Honours; and the third letter [dated 25 January, presumably 1943] discusses her new book [presumably 'Hungry Hill'], 'Tod's' dissatisfaction with her work at Highgate, thoughts on Quakerism and Catholicism, plans to visit 'Tommy' [Frederick Browning] at Salisbury Plain, a new Nanny, and advice to 'Tod' on a new job in Exeter. |
