After exchanging letters and confidances one should certain- ly be able to tell a TV from something else as he just would- n't understand and have the "feel" of the thing in letters If your correspondent passes that test and should he be near enough geographically to make a meeting possible, arrange to meet in some public place. Describe the clothing each will wear and any special identification. Meet in this anonymous manner and judge each other from there It is not wise to meet anyone the first time "dressed". It is also not wise for two TVs to be together "dressed" on the street What would probably be overlooked on either alone may call for second glances when there are two. The probability of being "read" is doubled unless each is very authentic alone.

The problem of return addresses continues to pop up, so I have conceived of a solution. On the inside back cover at the very bottom you will find YOUR SERIAL NUMBER (If I for- get to put it there in the rush of mailing, write me for it) Now if you write a letter that does not identify you on the inside it will not be returnable to you if opened in the Dead Letter office. Therefore a return address will not be necessary on the outside. Sign the letter anyway you want but always put the Serial Number with the signature. will be especially important when sending money, because I will not know who to credit it to and will not be able to re- ply to you. This number also goes on your file card so that only you and I will know who is who This is a double pro- tection for you and should relieve the worries of many of you

Remember that you can write to writers of letters or articles as well as to advertizers. Rules and rates are the same but please remember the stamped envelope Do not ask me to "give

my name to any other TV in this area" etc. I can't write your letters. The means of communication are provided--use them!

I don't keep copies of letters or notes written to you! When answering me please refer to any specific matter to which you are replying so that it will refresh my memory. There are a lot of you and I cant remember all the details. --Thanks, Ed.
