Description

In the year of Thunderball

Former British intelligence officer (1908–1964) whose novels featuring suave spy James Bond have attained unprecedented and seemingly indestructible popularity in more than 20 film adaptations over the course of four decades. TLS signed “Yours ever, Ian,” one page, 8 x 10, 4 Old Mitre Court letterhead, October 11, 1961. Fleming writes to Albert D. Cohen at General Distributors in Winnipeg. In part: “Thank you very much indeed … for your useful information on Metropolitan Stores. With the rather difficult market conditions ruling at present it doesn’t seem that I need be in any hurry to purchase shares. But when conditions look a bit better perhaps I may write to you again. I hope your trip home went off all right, and don’t forget to let me know, without fail the next time you come through London….” Intersecting mailing folds and light handling wear, otherwise fine condition.
