FLEMING IAN: (1908-1964) British Author, creator of the secret agent James Bond. T.L.S., Ian Fleming, with holograph salutation and subscription, two pages, 4to, Kemsley House, London, 16th November 1951, to Antony Terry (‘Dear Tony’) of the British Press Centre in Berlin, marked ‘Personal’ in Fleming’s hand. Fleming sends his correspondent a self explanatory attachment (no longer present) and continues ‘You should have a much easier life and at the same time have more leisure to pursue news features and features which can be airmailed. I hope the quantity of your coverage won’t diminish too much since we want to keep our editors happy and at the same time keep alive our syndication services which do not depend greatly on spot news’ and further adds ‘You will also have far more leisure to devote to “The Sunday Times”. Your last piece was voted at “The Sunday Times” conference the best foreign dispatch from any centre for months past. One can overdo the light touch, but that will show you how greatly it is appreciated when it comes off’. The author also asks Terry to consider whether the office and Miss Michelau will be needed under the new regime and suggests that his correspondent may be able to work just as well from home or from the Press Club, remarking ‘If Miss Michelau has to go, we shall, of course, be extremely sorry and she should receive a month’s salary in lieu of notice, but economies are being made throughout the service and I would be most grateful if you would contribute in whatever way you can’. Fleming also reveals that he is considering ‘packing Stanbury up’, with regret, as ‘Hamburg is comparatively unproductive and his retainer is rather on the high side. But this is not decided yet’ (the final sentence a holograph addition by Fleming) and concludes by stating ‘Personally, I think the whole service will benefit from this reorientation and we all look forward to providing foreign coverage for our editors which is really 100% exclusive. Please let me have your ideas on all this when you have had time to digest it.’ Two file holes to the left edge and a slight paperclip rust stain to the upper left corner, none of which affects the text or signature. Together with an unsigned retained typed copy of a letter from Terry, four pages (with several additional pages of accounts), 4to, Berlin-Grunewald, 30th October 1953, to Ian Fleming. Terry provides his opinions on the monthly expenses arising from his work in Berlin, explaining that the telephone is the highest expense and giving an example of how contacting Eva Bartok and Curd Jurgens (‘the actor who is the main part of the story’) resulted in a bill of £80 for trunk calls and wire photo charges, also citing another example which involved finding Paula Hitler, the sister of Adolf Hitler, who was living somewhere near Berchtesgaden, and also stating ‘In assessing the cost of telephone bills in Germany I think one must take into account the fact that it is a country with half a dozen capitals: Berlin for the Russians and Communists; Bonn for the Adenauer angle; the Ruhr and Hamburg for industry; Frankfurt for commerce and crime, and Bavaria, the hide-out of most of the big Nazis about whom stories are wanted from time to time’. Terry further makes reference to the cost of Miss Michelau, payments to Stringers in order to obtain information (‘I do not think we can do without someone to keep eyes and ears open in Bonn. For stories like Beria and Mrs. Maclean recently one is forced to use the services of persons from the other side of the Iron Curtain who, since they are taking a certain risk, are not willing to work for nothing’) and the costs involved in transport and travelling etc., and also provides a breakdown of the estimated monthly expenses and a detailed analysis of the telephone account for September 1953, listing the stories on which the expenses were incurred including the arrest of Max Reimann, a West German Communist leader, and the story of a kidnapped child. Neatly pinned together in the upper left corner and with two file holes to the left edge of each page, none of which affects the text. VG, 2 Anthony 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’.
