CHANDLER, Raymond (1888–1959). Typed Letter Signed (“Ray”) to Mr. Edgar Carter. La Jolla, California, August 14, 1957. Two pages, 4to (279 x 216 mm), on personal stationery with pencil additions at margins. Creased, staple holes to upper corner, filing pinholes to upper margin. CHANDLER WRITES TO HIS TELEVISION AGENT, EDGAR CARTER, WITH ANNOYANCE IN REGARD TO A CONTRACT. Chandler scrutinizes several paragraphs of a proposed contract in which the terms do not favor him financially and argues that Carter has not read the contract very carefully and if he cannot get a fair deal than he doesn’t want it. He concludes with: “I guess all these people are honed a little too sharp by the pressure and competition, but I don’t have to have their contract” … “Yours with love, Ray”.
