Wow!..very interesting letter!

[bob caser]

What is interesting is that Sherwood Egbert had no idea who Ian Fleming was. Miss Rich who was a personal secretary to Mr. Egbert wrote the note on the border of the letter advising him that he was a famous author.

I had the pleasure of meeting her in Palm Springs many years ago at an Avanti meet.
