Summary
Discussing his review of Millar's Blue City (which he later published under the pen name Ross Macdonald), noting that while not as good as the Maltese Falcon, his novel is "certainly off by itself so far as the general run of psychological thrillers goes." Suggesting that he contact Algren's ex-wife the next time he is in Los Angeles, and enclosing (not present) a review from the local Sun-Times.
