Elizabeth begins this diary by stating, “A rather momentous undertaking – to start a new diary to wonder what changes the next five years will bring. Success at writing is my hope.” She is still living in France with her girls. In 1932 and 1933 she is still spending time with Naly, who is helping to critique her plays. She goes to a gym regularly and sees exhibits. She worries about her finances in March 1932. She visits Casablanca in April 1932. On May 22, 1932, she writes that Naly has cholera. In mid-July 1932, she returns to the United States, to Ohio. She makes her way to St. Louis by late September, and Ridge spends time with her daughters on September 22., 1932
