The three items in fair condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. Ordway's two letters each 1p., 4to, and each addressed to Bourne as editor of Spectrum magazine, Central Office of Information, Hercules Road, Westminster Bridge Road, London. In Ordway's first letter, 9 May 1969, he expresses pleasure at hearing from Bourne again, and the knowledge that he is 'still very active in the spreading of science information all over the world'. He has instructed his publisher to send Bourne a copy of the 'forthcoming second revision edition' of his 'History of Rocketry and Space Travel'. In reply (11 July 1969) Bourne asks what Ordway is doing at the University of Alabama: 'Lets have more news of your activities.' He is disappointed to have missed Ordway's London visit: 'I have some interesting ideas and projects which you might like to hear about.'
