LETTERS TO EDITOR

Dear Editor:

I have recently learned that TRANSVESTIA is going to begin publication. To say that I am delighted would be a very mild statement. There are so very many "girls" like myself to whom the magazine would mean so much. Often we are lone- ly and depressed and to be able to read stories and articles about Transvestism or to see letters in print from other girls who are as lonely or who have had some recent experience of interest to all of us would add spice to our existance.

I hope the magazine can become a sounding board for all of us who have suggestions or questions regarding make-up, dress, feminine deportment, etc. I think it would be wonderful if a system could be devised whereby we could contact one another through the auspices of your publication. Please give this idea some thought. I would also hope that you could arrange advertising in issues to come from wig-makers, corsetierres, dress shops, shoe shops, etc. to whom we could turn for the items of attire that we often want so badly and yet find difficult to purchase in conventional outlets.

As for me, I have been a Transvestite for thirty years and only hope I can have thirty more years of occasionally turn- ing to the wonderful solace of immersing myself in a feminine role when the stress of masculine existence becomes unbear- able.

May I wish you all the luck in the world. I will look forward to each and every issue of TRANSVESTIA.

Yours,

SUZANNE
