FLEMING IAN: (1908-1964) British Author, creator of James Bond. T.L.S., with his initials I F, one page, 4to, n.p. (London), 9th July 1951, to Michael Parker at the Land Commissioner's Office in Hamburg. The carbon typed letter is an original copy of a letter from Fleming, thanking Parker for their letter although remarking 'but are we not getting rather at cross purposes?' and continuing 'we are already handsomely represented throughout the British Zone and have no further accreditation available for that territory. As I understood from….our later correspondence, you had suggested representing us in Munich and the United States Zone where we could do with some additional coverage in case of emergencies. In the circumstances I think the best course would be for you to ascertain first of all if there is any hope of obtaining authority to work in the United States Zone, bearing in mind that British accreditation is, in fact, of no interest to the American authorities….' Fleming concludes by suggesting 'Perhaps on your next visit to Berlin you would like to have a talk with Anthony Terry, our chief representative in Germany. He will at any rate be able to explain to you our coverage in the British Zone and perhaps give you some hints on how to penetrate into the American sector.' The letter is marked at the head 'Copy to Mr. Terry'. Two file holes to the left edge, small staple holes to the upper left corner and with some light creasing to the edges, none of which affect the text or signature, about VG Antony Terry (1913-1992) British Journalist, a former European Editor of The Sunday Times who was first hired in 1949 by Fleming (at the time the Foreign manager for the newspaper). Terry's obituary in The Independent stated that he was 'one of the paper's most valuable assets, a one-man listening post, a fastidious checker of facts, a burrower into dark corners and a traveller who never complained of fatigue'
