Dear Sirs:
Although I first read ONE with some misgivings, I now read it with pleasure and a growing pride both in you and in myself!
If I can be of any help here, I want you to know I'll stand and be counted"-when I'm needed!
Dear Sir:

Reading a letter sent to you by one of your readers the person mentioned, "Daughters of Bilitis." I have never heard of the mentioned "Daughters" and would appreciate full information. Who are the Daughters of Bilitis, is it a publication, if so what kind, the address, etc.?

Editor's Note: Full information concerning the "Daughters of Bilitis" and their publication "The Ladder" can be obtained by writing: Daughters of Bilitis, Inc., 693 Mission Street, Room 308, San Francisco, California.
Dear Sirs:
Having read several of your magazines, brought back to Australia by friends visiting America, and found them worthwhile reading, we would like to make inquiries as to the possibility of a subscription.
May we congratulate you on the excellent quality of the literary standard of your magazine? Although we have not agreed entirely with all of your articles, we have, at the same time, found them an excellent source for new thought and discussion.
Friends:
Mr. J. Mr. R.

Since I now purchase everybody's favorite magazine here on New York's 42nd Street newsstands, the enclosed $5.00 is a contribution instead of my subscription renewal.
It occurs to me that, if one million of the estimated ten million American colleagues sent you $5.00 annually, this would create an annual subsidy of five million dollars!
If you will send me a yearly reminder, the same as you would send a subscription renewal notice, I'll appreciate the same. (We should stick together more adhesively!)
All my very best wishes for continuing progress on the way to ultimate tolerance. Mr. S.
WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK Editor's Note: Your plan concerning the ten million colleagues has occurred to us tooeven in terms of 50c! Thanks for your contribution; more like it will help us "reach out"
to that million. Let's hope the thought "occurs to others.
Dear Editor:
As far as the average homosexual being accepted as a "decent" member of society is concerned, I do not think this can be accomplished until the homosexual, himself, does something about it. I believe that a great deal of education is needed within the ranks of the homosexuals themselves; they need to know what they are, and how to behave accordingly.

Editor's Note: Your letter states but one reason why ONE Institute, Education Division of ONE, Incorporated, was formed. Write DIRECTOR for full information.
Dear Miss Reid:
I have read all three stories by Diana Sterling and would like to know, since they fall into a "category" if they are part of a novel or a book of short stories? There seems a scarcity of books in the field at present. Can ONE alleviate this?
Gentlemen:
Miss C.
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
Please accept my sincerest thanks for the copies of ONE. Words cannot adequately express the satisfaction and pleasure that came as I read and tried to grasp the vastness of the program that lies ahead for you-and (in my little way) for me too. I regret that I did not know of your splendid magazine sooner. I could have been spared so much self-reproach, lonesomeness, misery, and almost despair. Thanks a million for your wonderful work.
To The Editor:
Mr. W.
HERRICK, SOUTH DAKOTA
I enjoyed the item "Older Homosexual";
I think we should have more about the older homosexual as they need help just as much as us younger ones.
Dear Miss Reid:
Mr. R. HARRISBURG, PA.
the fact that TANGENTS seldom has any news items concerning women proves that the men bring the problems on themselves. You never hear of women being bothered by the vice squad, blackmailers or fears of unemployment. I hope the men take note of this.
