Scott moves to Hotel Rennert in Baltimore.

Zelda completes first draft of her novel, Save Me the Waltz (which she claimed she named after a song title in a Victor record catalog) in just six weeks. She sends it to Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's.

Scott writes to Dr. Mildred Squires at Phipps Clinic in a fury. He had received the manuscript of Save Me the Waltz from Maxwell Perkins. He claimed that for four years he had been forced to work "intermittently" on his new novel due to him having to keep Zelda in sanatoriums. She had heard some 50,000 words of it and "literally one whole section of her novel is an imitation of it" He demanded both deletions and changes to Zelda's novel.
