CHANDLER, Raymond. TLS ("Ray") with two minor holograph corrections, to his agent Edgar Carter, La Jolla, 9 April, 1957. 1 page, 8o. Chandler comments on the ongoing contract discussion with CBS to produce a television series based on his famed detective Philip Marlowe. "After all, these programmes are pretty routine and all I give them is the name of a character and whatever reputation goes with it and what they do with that does not greatly concern me, because I know that Philip Marlowe, written by someone else for a TV series will have very little resemblance to my Philip Marlowe."
