Sister Carrie "A Strangely Strong Novel in a Queer Milieu"
Curated by Nancy M. Shawcross Rare Book & Manuscript Library University of Pennsylvania

Edington asks for Dreiser's patience as RKO tries to compile a storyboard for the adaptation of Sister Carrie to the screen that does not require a million-dollar budget. In a letter dated the very next day, Edington asks if Dreiser would be willing to take $2,500 for the ninety-day option rather than $5,000.
