Dear Friends:

I once again speak my feelings. The Miss Destiny feature article was excellent and refreshingly different. It gives me a better feeling toward those of her particular breed than has been possible in the past. She puts up a convincing argument to indicate that (her) behavior is actually quite natural for some-perhaps it is!

"Papacito and the Jotos" was quite good also-perhaps rather realistic. It would be fortunate if errors which appear in the Magazine on unfamiliar words could be avoided, though. I'm sure the name should have been "Ramirez" rather than "Romirez," no?

Dear Dorr:

Mr. W. Houston, Texas

I am enclosing a check for $8.00. Six dollars are for the votes and $2.00 are the results of "renting" out the article by "Miss Destiny." Some of my friends who are eeither too chicken or too complacent to subscribe to ONE have read City of Night, so I told them that ONE had a very interesting article by Destiny." Some of my friends who are either for the small sum of 50c. So here is the money.

Friends:

Mr. H. Cincinnati, Ohio

Enclosed find $25 in cash to be used for literature and public information to enable interested inquirers to maintain their anonymity and facilitate investigation and self-dis-

covery.

Those afraid and alone need such an organization as ONE to guide their self understanding, but there are many who hesitate to reveal themselves and their names and their occupations for fear of exposure and harassment. (Jenkins is a case in point.) Because I am somewhat unfamiliar with your complete mode of operation, I cannot specify how this money can be used, nor can I give a detailed way in which anonymity can be maintained, I only ask that some attempt be made in that direction.

This may sound like a foolish request to you who have seen many reach adjustment, but that leap is not easy, and anonymity overcomes the major hurdle.

Permit me to remain anonymous, as I wish I could have a few months ago, for anonymity would have simplified and augumented my own growth in understanding myself. However, I do thank you for your considerate and sympathetic orientation.

A grateful friend Wisconsin

Dear Don:

I want to know how much a subscription costs. I can't send any money until I find out. Please send me some literature, as I just started doing things that I always thought were awful. Now I find I can't stop and have no desire to stop. So, I would like to understand it and know how to live with it. I know you must have the information I want. Mr. R.

Dear Editor:

Saugus, Massachusetts

After reading Bob Waltrip's short story "The Cliff Dancers" in the October issue of ONE, I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed it. It's vivid descriptions, choice of words, and the tenderness with which he presented the story make it one of the best I've read in ONE.

In his characterization of Doug, he has captured the emotions of many of us young men who want desperately to find happiness in homosexual love. His beautiful description of Doug's feelings in the last paragraph on page 9 make it extremely easy for me to identify with him. Walking around the campus of the University of-(in the midst of the beauty of 10,000 males) I have had just the same feelings. I hope this won't be his last story.

Dear Mr. Legg:

Mr. D.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina

I received the 10 back issues of ONE that you sent, and I read every word in each one, as I do with each copy of ONE that I receive. I've always liked the short storys. But I found that many were about the female homosexual, and while interesting, they are not my cup of tea.

In May, 1962, issue, I found "The Homosexual Aid Society in the Middle of the 21st Century" by Roger Barth, of greatest interest. I liked that part about the symbols of the two triangles.

I really enjoyed the story "The Cliff Dancers" by Bob Waltrip. It's about time they got some sex into their stuff. He's a very good writer. I also liked his "The Friday Night Quilting Party." I knew ONE was like that. I didn't think an orgy went on there (darn it!) it's just a friendly get together of people who want to help, and I'm sure they do.

I'm very interested in your Fall and Spring Semester 1964-65, HS-100E, Introduction to Homophile Studies. But, you didn't say how much it will cost.

Right now I'm working on a painting that I'm going to give to ONE, Incorporated.
