I would definitely write again and use his publicist address in London. Another tip is to enclose a SASE with enough British stamps on it, rather than an IRC - with an IRC, they would have to go to the post office to exchange it for postage, and I try to make it easy for their office to return the autographed photo to me by putting stamps on the SASE - good to go. How do I know how much British stamps to put on the return envelope? What I did was I went onto eBay and looked at some of the British sellers of JRM photos and the like, to see how much they're charging for postage. I live in San Francisco, CA and to make sure I've enough postage on the envelope, I put approx. GBP 3.85 worth of stamps on the SASE. One last thing: I spent a little extra money and sent the photo with SASE to his publicist via Federal Express. That way, my envelope would perhaps get special attention ... in this case, it was worth it to me because I'm a huge fan of JRM!
BTW - I purchased the British stamps at a local store in San Francisco that sells mainly to stamp collectors, but I think you can also buy them online ...
Good Luck!
