keep sending my copies in the usual way.

Dear Sir:

Mr. D.

Brunswick East, Australia

I find articles in ONE extremely interesting and helpful to a person like I am. In fact I find your society far more advanced than any of the similar societies in Europe and in other parts of the world with the plans and procedure of your works. I am a member of many such clubs with similar magazines in Europe, but I am disappointed to hear that your society does not have pen-pals, as I have been longing to contact your members and discuss our daily problems and livings.

BERGLER, BAKER & ELLIS

Dear One's:

I have bought several of the books published by Edmund Bergler. When I have read them three-fourths through I just rip them to pieces and throw them in the rubbish barrel to be burned or throw in a dump, either of which is of higher value than the contents of the books. How could any M.D. write such books? It must be to make money, or to recoup losses otherwise sustained.

I dearly love "Toward Understanding," by Blanche M. Baker, M.D., Ph.D., and deeply absorb every word, both of what the inquirers say and of her replies. Being a homosexual is certainly not a handicap but leads to friendships that are enduring and, may I say, completely out of this world.

Dear Sirs:

Mr. W. Washington, D.C.

I would like to subscribe to your Magazine. I heard about it through the book 1000 Homosexuals, by Edmund Bergler, M.D.

Dear Friends:

I am a very happy, well-adjusted "old aunty," because I learned years ago that when I can't have what I want I enjoy what I can get. I don't want to chisel in on Dr. Baker's department, but I wish you would tell those poor souls who moan about being lonely to just quit being so damn selfish. Instead of sitting around feeling so sorry because Prince (or Princess) Charming doesn't discover them, tell them to get out and be friendly with everyone with whom they come in contact. They will be surprised how many of them will respond. The story "Joel Beck," by Doyle Livingston (November, 1959) was almost perfect.

Dear Sir:

Is it not yet clear that Ellis and Bergler are quacks in their pronouncements on homosexuality? They compulsively advocate heterosexuality, willy-nilly. Their conclusions are always based on assumptions and axioms which are entirely imaginary, very much in the way bamboozling theological systems are constructed. Facts are always irrelevant for such purposes.

They gamble on continuing public ignorance regarding the irrevocable functioning of sexuality of any kind in the advancement of humanity. It is my guess that the facts of Kinsey and the systematic observations of René Guyon will prove eventually to be infinitely nearer the truth.

Dear Mr. Slater:

Mr. H.

Brooklyn, N.Y.

Just completed reading my first ONE and find it most interesting and helpful. I like your handling of a subject that is still a matter of whispering, even though it should be freely discussed and as well understood as any other; also, the column by Dr. Baker, which helps us to know and understand that there are others with problems similar to our own, then, what to do about them.

I liked the excellent story "The Veil," (September, 1959) and your pros and cons on pen pals. While I am in favor of the idea I can see where it would not be the thing to do until the public in general is made more aware of the homosexual's viewpoint.

BIRTHRIGHTS & BIRTHDAYS

Dear Friends:

Before homosexuals had ONE, "The Homosexual Viewpoint," they did not know how to claim their birthright as the Children of Sodom and Gomorrah-how to know the purity and power which are theirs. But now through an understanding of their problems they have found the way to do so. The very presence of organizations defending the homosexual viewpoint is convincing proof of the love and respect that humanity is paying to social and cultural variants.

Dear ONE:

Mr. A. Washington, D.C.

This gift is a little late for your birthday, but I hope it will help you in your tremendous struggle to help "us" enjoy the rights and privileges that our majority brothers have had all their lives. Yours for a free America.
