Sir:

January 13, 1954

Enclosed find a copy of ONE, The Homosexual Magazine. As long ago as our June 1953 issue the lead article: "Magazine Goldmine" 'Run an Article on Queers, took notice of your efforts along this line.

Millions of self-respecting and respectable men and women, homosexual American citizens resent the scurrilous type of thing to which you sign your name, and will not tolerate its going unchallenged any longer. It is the intention of ONE, and its Bureau of Public Information, to investigate and expose fraud of any kind, so long as the welfare and interests of the homosexual American public is threatened.

Naturally we cannot assume fraud unless it be proven, but we shall mercilessly publicize any we do find, as certain public officials in a large city are dicovering to be be the case, following their illegal attempts to persecute homosexual Americans.

In the interests of fairness then will you kindly supply us the following information for our columns: At what university and in what year you received the degree of doctor, your subject of specialization, your doctorial thesis (published, or unpublished on deposit in what libraries) we shall of course check with whatever university; are you a practicing physician and where licensed; member of AMA; you are "Fellow in Science and Research" with what institution; kindly supply details as to "Kings Bureau of Investigation and Psychotic Research," its staff, age, endowment, etc.; you are author of what "Books and Articles on Psychotic Ills", names of publishers, dates of publication, editions; bibliography of periodical articles.
