TLS signed “Ray,” one page, 8.5 x 11, August 23, 1958. Letter to his agent Edgar Carter. In part: “I was wondering how the projected TV show was going on, or whether it was dead. I noticed in a number of Variety some time ago it was mentioned as one of a large number that probably would not get on the air. It seems to me absurd that I, who have been called by many people both here and in Europe, the best mystery writer in America, should not be able to get a television program when utterly inferior shows go on year after year. Are we asking too much money?…For Playback, I have been offered the largest advances I have ever received …Helga Greene says I am paid the highest royalty of any writer in England…In my opinion, I should have had a television show years ago.” Staple holes to top left, light toning to edges, ink notation to top right, and a few light creases, otherwise fine condition.
