I must say that for all the complainers you have there must be thrice that many who appreciate the fact that everyone in this world has different thoughts and beliefs and that it is impossible to please everyone in one publication.

I hope that sometime it will be possible to have letters forwarded so that acquaintances can be made in our home towns and elsewhere. I am in a position like that of Miss B., of Sidney, Australia. I am lonely for companionship and I do not seem able to locate the type of men friends I would like, possibly because I am afraid of the consequences of a mistake. However, enough of my sobbing. Again I say, "More power to you." I think you are doing a handsome job, one that I am sure the complainers could never do.

Dear Mr. Rifle:

Mr. H. Omaha, Neb.

I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your story, "Down in the Canyon" (February, 1958). I have read a great many books and novels in which homosexuality is the theme, and most of them have a city background, so of course there is a sameness about most of them, but yours is like a fresh breeze from the

mountains and has just about everythingsuspense, delicacy of treatment, frankness and honesty. My only regret was that it was too short. I think you could write a very fine book along these lines, taking this as your first chapter.

Let me say I hope you continue writing and give us some more of those fine, suspenseful, fresh-air stories.

Dear Don Slater:

Mr. B Toledo, Ohio

After reading the letter from Mr. W., of Baltimore (June, 1958) I realized you must receive many so-called "crank" letters. You do print the possible ones; but how many you. must receive that are unprintable. I just never realized this before.

I want to congratulate you for printing "Circumambient Love," by J. Lorna Strayer. Here is a POEM!! It is beautiful, touching, understandable-a lovely piece of writing. Another item that made the June issue so fascinating was the article by Cristina Midence Valentine (author, The God Within). I agree with every word she wrote. May I add a personal comment. HERE is a WRITER!

I read that letter of yours in ONE Confidential. If the guys would all get behind what you are trying to do we might get some place. I don't know what's the matter with them all. I don't have much, working in a restaurant dish-washing, but I will send $10 a month. John Fadner Westwood Village, Calif.
