stretched--then I remember.

35. Here I am, all dressed up and no place to go. Until now I am a lovely lady--I have bath- ed and dressed and primped, lingered over each little task, enjoyed every moment, loved every moment of donning my love- ly clothes, from my dainty underthings, bra (properly fil- led for contour), girdle (padded in just the right places) and beautiful nylon slip trim.ed with lace--right down to the tips of my toes in my beautiful black patent leather pumps with the 5 inch heels. I want to go thru the door, but of course I can't and don't. I want to be seen, but of couse I can't and won't. That is my lot for I am a Transvestite.

Life has

Even tho

Until now I have kept my secret to myself. been very lonely and without meaning many times. I was happily married for almost 8 years. Eight years dur- ing which I did not practice TV but instead devoted to my wife all my love, my affection and showered her with the lovely clothes which I am sure I would have enjoyed more than she. That all ended in divorce and now I am a prac- ticing TV again.

To find true companionship and mutual understanding with people like myself is now my aim in life. Yes, I want to dedicate the rest of my life to Transvestism, to a better understanding of what it is, to find whether it has a place in the society in which we live. I want to thank Chevalier Publications for the very interesting let- ter I received. Mere words can't express my true feelings concerning the grand idea regarding the publication of "Transvestia". Since receiving your letter I have thought of nothing else and my enthusiasm for this project grows. Because I want to be a part of and to help in every way I can to bring success to this venture I enclose a check for my subscription and wish it were more. I shall be happily anticipating the arrival of my copies of TVia and I am sure it will turn out to be a big success and a source of enduring pleasure and enlightenment to those of us whom I am sure are many.

Sincerely C.W. Ill
