Description

The intelligence behind 007 sends humble thanks to the eager suggestions of an adoring fan: “It seems to me that you should start writing these sort of books yourself!”

TLS, one page, 5 x 8, personal letterhead, September 12, 1961. In a charming response to a “fan letter,” the man behind James Bond writes, in full: “Thank you very much for your charming letter of September 4th, and it was indeed kind of you to have written me such a delightful and informative ‘fan’ letter. It seems to me that you should start writing these sort of books yourself!” Matted and framed, with the original fan letter and a handsome unsigned photo of Fleming, to an overall size of 34 x 16.5. In very good condition, with moderate to heavy somewhat irregular toning, not detracting from the bold signature. James Bond’s suave demeanor no doubt flows naturally from his creator, as Fleming proves a gentleman and a scholar in this delightful response. Oversized. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
