Title
October 13, 1936 diary entry
Description
After moving to New York City and spending her savings, Swenson advertised her writing skills in order to make ends meet. One of the respondents was Paltial Rosen, who hired her to help him write an autobiographical story. A romance followed, but before long the feelings weren't mutual, as Swenson records in this entry, where she also reviews others in her past for whom she did feel love.
