Sirs:
Enclosed is a "buck." I've been out of work since June 20, and had to sell my used car to pay bills. My TV went backand I haven't been to a show (or bar) in nearly three years. I can't understand people tho! I've showed my copy of ONE to three friends; they give two why they can't "see it." 1. They couldn't have it coming to them. 2. They "know" it's a money scheme.
two reasons
But we ONE and I-know better. These three friends have very good jobs and think me silly to be concerned about the progress of ONE. One of these friends paid $200.00 fine for entrapment and was released. What does it take?
My burden is heavy. I'll send more later (I hope). You all deserve salaries in lieu of the complacency of those you work so hard for. Please don't think me lying about my inability to send more. I dare not, in my present fix. I can't even buy Mr. Fugate's play.
Dear Sir:
Mr. L.
DOVER, DELAWARE
I have no complaints. I hope my dollar helps a little. Here's hoping for your
success.

Dear ONE Inc.:
The capacity which we humans have for postponing matters like seeing dentists, preparing income tax forms, paying less pressing debts or writing to friends!! And to these last two mentioned items relate the attached money order and these few words.
If ONE doesn't always receive the attention it increasingly deserves when it periodically arrives at my address, it also never goes unread, unthought over, or undiscussed by me with a growing circle of associates to whom I introduce such material for consideration.
I regret that I waited until I had to be rightly reminded of my debt owed to your efforts and steadily heightening achievement. Frankly you should in due time receive more from me if I act upon intentions of many months standing.
Best, I felt, though, that right away I indicate at least some response.
And may the general subscriber response put mine well into the shade!
Mr. R. NEW YORK, N. Y.
Dear Sirs:
In reply to your appeal for donations, you will find enclosed my check, to be used as you see fit. I am only sorry that I cannot send you more at this time.
Wishing you the best in everything which you attempt and congratulating you on the aid which you must be giving to many, I remain, in anticipation of this month's issue of ONE and my copy of Game of Fools, yours truly, Mr. P. STUTTGART, ARK.
Dear Sirs:
I am enclosing a small contribution for your fine magazine, with the promise that I will send more in the near future.
I wish to congratulate you on the content and art work of ONE. Both have been consistently good until April and Dr. Albert Ellis. I hope his article got the response it deserved. His opinions are obvious examples of muddy thinking and his approach is far too dogmatic. I am interested in intelligent theories, whether or not I am in agreement with them, but how can Dr. Ellis put forth his ideas on deviations of the human mind and then flatly state that "THIS IS FACT!" I may be poorly informed, but as far as I have heard, the only FACT that is known on the subject of homosexuality is that it exists. I am sure that Dr. Ellis has stirred many into doing some thinking and in this he has done a good thing.
On the whole I thoroughly enjoy ONE and I wish the staff all the success in the world.
Mr. H. EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA
Dear Sir:
Your appeal for funds for ONE is justified and I am enclosing my check.
ONE contains material not found anywhere else and should be self-supporting without being padded with advertising.
In my opinion, ONE should be sold at FIFTY CENTS per copy or one year for FIVE DOLLARS.
However, when you get on your feet, I particularly would not like to see the format changed in the middle of a year.. larger, smaller, more pages, fewer pages. Nor do I think we need a newspaper such as was proposed a year or so ago.
Will you poll your readers in an early issue on their ideas in regard to raising the price of ONE?
Mr. J. CLEVELAND, O.
