1-page, 11 line typed letter, signed "Ray" on Raymond Chandler's 6005 Camino del la Costa, La Jolla, CA, letterhead. With H.N. Swanson Inc. rubberstamp below Chandler's signature. 11x8½".

Reads: "Dear Swanie: It's all right with me if you want to publish that letter in your Newsletter. But if you leave the names out there won't be much left, will there? I don't understand why you should want to plug BINGO in your uncouth publication. I expected Paramount to snap it up as a vehicle for Crosby. And as for shoving your fist down Aubrey Schenck's throat because he thinks parts of it are poetical, I'll thank you to leave my few admirers alone. Just because a man has a few finer feelings is no reason for you to insult him. Yours ever, (signed) Ray."
