Their correspondence indicates that Dr. Forel permitted Fitzgerald to feel that he was a consultant on the case.

Fitzgerald’s Ledger summary of his thirty-third year—“The Crash! Zelda + America”—reveals how he identified the events of his life with the history of his time. He regarded Zelda and himself as eponymic figures—which they became.

* A sedative.

† Injections.

* St. Paul-de-Vence in the hills above the Mediterranean.

* Unidentified.

† Ballerina Nemtchinova.

‡ French medical term for cuppings.

* Dr. Forel wrote to Fitzgerald on 23 June 1930: “I’ve taken notice of the attached letter which shows how Mrs. Fitzgerald still clings to her career as a dancer. On the other hand, Dr. de Jonge and myself, we are certain that it is not in this direction that she will find her equilibrium and the possibility of resuming a normal life. Therefore, if you write to the teacher of your wife as she demands it, it would be preferable (although it will be a big disappointment to her) that, in the answer, one makes her understand that there is not her real calling. She wants to start work again, but at this point in time, it is not a question of dance, but medical treatment which she urgently needs.”’141 [Translated from the French]

† Fitzgerald’s 22 June 1930 letter to Egorova listed seven questions about Zelda’s dancing. His third question was how long would Zelda need to reach the level of Nikitina and Danilowa.

* These three stories are lost.
