DS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, July 22, 1938. Agreement between Hellman and Samuel Goldwyn Inc. regarding the deadline for a screenplay. In part: “The story designated by us as the story on which the next (namely the third) adaptation under your contract with us…is the story entitled ‘Nobody’s in Town’ by Edna Ferber. You have advised us that you will be willing to write an adaptation based on said story if you can commence work thereon between December 1st, 1938 and February 1st, 1939. Our schedule will not permit the commencement…later than December 1st.” At the conclusion, Hellman signs to extend her contract rather than take the project. In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Sidney Howard—screenwriter of Gone With the Wind—ended up signing on to adapt Ferber’s story, but the film was never made.
