Ian Fleming


Typed letter signed, to Gordon Grimley, regarding an offer to review the book No Latitude For Error, stating the book has been sent to him in error instead of his brother, Peter Fleming

Fleming had just returned from skiing in St Moritz when he discovered a copy of No Latitude For Error by Sir Edmund Hillary for him to review, sent by the Book Society's Gordon Grimley. It was, in fact, intended for his brother, the adventurer and travel writer Peter Fleming.
