outlet, secondly, with your classic, "of, by and for", your second nature in coming to the fore, has allowed so many of us on the outside to have a new outlet, to have a new found friend, to know that we are not alone, to know that others have prob- lems and that if solutions have been found we can probably share and finally to know that sympathy begets sympathy. Dear Virginia, if ever we do meet, and at the moment it seems impossible, do count on me as a friend forever. If in a small way I can add to your life as you have to mine, yours is but to ask. Lastly I am quite able to add to TVia with drawings or illustrations and would be glad to hear from you as to your needs.

Yours, Jerrie, N.C.

Dear Ed:

You have started something I hope will have some results with the unidentified TVs that are around but do not dare tở stand up and be counted. So many are afraid they will be class- ified with the limp wristed bretheren that they run at the drop of a skift, and until our particular idiosyncracy gets ident- ified properly by the general public, I can hardly blame them.

It must be one hell of a job to get the mag out and on the road (It is--Ed) but you are doing a better job of it every time. I enjoy particularly the letters from the gang, they are very illuminating. Just goes to show how lonesome a lot of people were until you showed up. I think, sometimes, I would have gone nuts if I hadn't had a lot of women friends who were more ore less understanding. This running off and hiding every time you get an urge does nothing for you because it leaves the main urge unsatisfied--getting out and mingling. Keep up the good work and like a lot of others have told you I'll help if I can, Yours, Myrtle--Minn.

Dear Ed:

Thru the pages of TVia I have been enabled to meet a very fine person, right here in Chicago. Until this meeting I was a complete "loner", so you can imagine how much this has meant to me. Many thanks to you from both of us for the wonderful service you have rendered. Grace Ill.
