Dear Friend:
I am not able at this time to be of much help, but I would like to make some donation in appreciation of the work you are doing. So please find enclosed a small sum that I send you with the best wishes for your continued success.
Dear Sir:
Mr. A. EAST MILLSBORO, PA.
Here's $10.00 and an order for the play. Come the end of the week and I can send another check.
I'm an optimist and believe the best years for ONE are still ahead. It will survive because we believe in it and will it to survive.
Mr. R,
SOUTH DUXBURY, MASS.
Dear ONE:
It isn't much, but every little bit helps! The only other thing I can do is say THANKS to all of you for all you've done and are doing to keep ONE alive and growing! Thanks a million and keep up the good work!
Dear Sirs:
Mr. C. SHOEMAKERSVILLE, PA.
I am enclosing my dollar-not the price of a movie because I do not see four movies a year but because I want your magazine to continue to grow and reach others.
Mr. C. LINCOLN, NEBR.
Dear Sir:
In answer to your appeal for funds I'm enclosing a check. I realize this isn't a lot, but every little bit does help, and if every subscriber sent a contribution this definitely would add up!
You folks are doing a fine job, and I do want to see ONE become a permanent success. I like your magazine although, naturally, some copies are better than others. So far your Jan. '55 issue was best of all (Just don't go too high-brow!)
My good friends:
Dr. W. WASHINGTON, IND.
In response to your recent letter, I am enclosing my check in the amount of $10.00.
This is a donation to be used however you see fit. I, for one amongst many, am most appreciative of the work you all have so unselfishly put forth and only wish that I were able to send a contribution many times the amount of this check.
However, in spirit and friendship I am behind all of you-all the way.
Dear Staff:
Mr. J.
KANSAS CITY, MO.
I am only too happy to be able to aid at least monetarily the cause for which I would gladly give anything. I would say my prayers are with you if I believed in religion any longer; as it is, I say you have all my best wishes for your success as a financially secure magazine and organi-
zation!
Mr. E. CLEVELAND, OHIO
Dear Sirs: You're doing, basically, a good jobthough I'd like a little more fiction and a little less esoteric hogwash.
My wife and I enjoy reading ONE, and we're only sorry we can't leave the magazine out in plain sight in the apart-
ment.
Dear Mr. Slater:
NEW YORK, N.Y.
Received your letter today re funds and am enclosing $10.00. Naturally, I wish it could be 100 x $10, but as things now stand, it just can't. To sort of make up for this, I'm setting up what I call my "ONE FUND." "Come rain or come shine," I'll send a dollar (perhaps more if I'm able) a week for as long as possible. Admittedly, this isn't much (I don't have much!), but I hope it'll help.
Miss D.
HUDSON, N. H. (Editor's Note: This pledge has been kept each week. Many, many thanks!)
Gentlemen:
Enclosed is a contribution towards your expenses.
As a practicing psycho-therapist I am grateful to ONE magazine for the deeper insights and the greater understanding I have gained concerning the problems of homosexuals and homosexuality. I only wish I could express my appreciation more substantially in a material way. I know there are many other non-homosexuals who have benefited as I have from your very fine efforts.
I wish you great success in your venture and continued growth of your influence in enlightenment.
Mr. L.
BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA
