Fine. Edgar Carter was one of Chandler?s agents at the Swanson agency (Swanson himself was Chandler?s primary agent). This letter concerns the sale of rights to Chandler?s character (presumably Philip Marlowe), for what sounds like a possible TV series, but still leaves Chandler free to sell the rights of his published material to other TV studios: ?It is understood, of course, that Warner?s are buying a license to use the character and nothing more and that they do not propose to forbid my sale of TV rights to anything I have published.? The letter discusses other related business matters.
