TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, December 28, 1948. Letter to Edgar Carter, in full: “I am returning to you the copies of the proposed release from the Wallis contract, drafted by Paramount. I have kept one copy of it for my files. I am also enclosing two copies of a revised release, drafted by the office of my attorney, Freston & Files, and a copy of his letter to me.” In fine condition, with light creasing to upper left. In spite of the success of her first two books, Rand often worked as a reader for production studios like RKO, MGM, and Paramount to supplement her income. Despite showing initial interest, Paramount ultimately passed on buying the film rights to her second novel, The Fountainhead. With Rand in charge of the screenplay adaptation, the film was ultimately picked up by Warner Bros. Studios and released in 1949.
