publicity. I sent it, and this month he gave TRANSVESTIA the write up in his colur a "Inside the Nation's Press This mention has already resulted in 10 new subscriptions and doubtless more will follow

In return for his lift to our efforts I'd like to re turn the compliment, I have been a subscriber to THE INDE PENDENT since its inception and to its predecessor IN FICT, I was interested in having TRANSVESTIA mentioned in this paper because its readers are among the most open mind d and intelligent members of the community- they are inter ested in learning about new matters, and getting new light on old matters. I knew therefore that this readership would include some interested in TVia By the same token I fel that our readership includes many of the same to pe who should be interested in THE INDEPENDENT. This paper specializes in printing matter that is hidden, forgotten and intentionally omitted by the big dailies, Here you can learn much, I hope some of you will support him as he has helped us.

Along with this issue I am including a 2 page leaflet that I have prepared to pass out at some lectures I am giving. It occurs to me that it might be a handy thing for you to give out to persons to whom you would like to introduce the subject. ..or to anyone for that matter The more the knowledge gets around the better. You may order these from me at 104 apiece, but please order at least 5 at a time both to make the payment easier and the volume of printing greater. If we all spread the word, especially in places of authority it will help. Send one to your local police department--might help. Also please excuse the 4 typo errors in this sheet, it was done in an awful hurry and not proofread
