others of your acquaintance who may be interested in our subject know of the existance of TRANSVESTIA? More subs. will not only assure continuation of the magazine but ill mean more contributions of material and greater interest for all.

We still do not have a big enough income to print pictures because they require photographic plates on metal rather than on paper like the rest of the maga zine and these cost about $5 apiece. And apart from the cost what are we to print? Everyone wants to see pictures but noone has sent in any pictures with either permission or request that they be printed.

If some of you who are a bit better heeled than the Editor want to contribute to a picture fund we could get to the picture stage a lot sooner. If any such contributions do come in they will not only be acknowledged and credit given but bills will be sub- mitted showing that it was spent as intended and that the Editor did not spend it on a new dress. We look forward to the day when TRANSVESTIA will look as snappy and colorful as Bizarre or Fantasia, but these mags have newstand distribution and consequently much greater income to work with. Moreover they cater to a much wider audience. Have you ever noticed how re- latively little on Transvestism appears these days?

The Editor has no way of knowing what is going on in other parts of the country that may be of interest or importance to TVs. I would appreciate clippings, news notes or
