DUE TO THE QUANTITY OF MAIL RECEIVED AND THE FACT THAT ALL WORTH HILE LETT RS CANNOT BE PUT IN THE ISSUE FOLLOWING THEIR RECEIPT, SOME OF THESE GO BACK SOME MONTHS, BUT THEY ARE DEEMED INTERESTING ENOUGH TO PRINT SO WE FINALLY GOT AROUND TO IT.

Dear Editor: I've just finished reading #3 and thought it was very good. While it is still fresh in my mind I thought I would jot down a few of my thoughts on the art- icle by Virginia

I believe her ideas about seperating our two selves was very good, but a great many TVs are unable to do this. The sad fact is, we have to settle for much less. When appearing in public as "Sally", I am always a bit nervous. This is natural because like a great many other TVs I am not able to get dressed up often enough to get used to the role I like a number of my sisters have family ties which are a restraining influence on us We would love to be able to come home from work and slip completely into our feminine roles every night, but due to family or wives whom we are afraid to hurt, we settle for much less, such as wearing panties under our men's clothes, an occasional dab of perfume or sleeping in a nightie. On the rare oc casions that we are able to dress up we try as much as possible to live our roles, but this is difficult because of lack of practice. Then there is always the fear of getting caught-of our families finding out

TVia is helping to some extent by helping us to meet other TVs. By getting together we can overcome our feel- ings of lonliness and help build self confidance. When we do meet other TVs I think it would be a good idea if our more fortunate sisters who live alone or have under- standing families would make their homes available to the less fortunate ones who have no place to go. This could consist of inviting them in occasionally for dinner or an evening of card playing or just relating and exchanging ideas. Another solution would be for 2 or 3 or more TVs to split expenses on an apartment where they could keep their clothes and drop in to relax when the urge comes. I would like to see branch d'Eon clubs open throughout
