The sporadic and confused ramblings contained in this letter, are partly because I am no writer and partly the result of the fact that the subject matter about which I am commenting is one which I have for so long kept hidden in great embarrassment.

From viewing the copious and extensive flow of words here amassed, you probably believe that this lengthy narrative was written in a facile and fluent manner. Such could not be further from the truth, as these pages represent a slow tedious groping for words and was written over the span of the last several days, since receiving my first two copies of Transvestia, (Nos. 12 & 13).

At any rate, a short time ago, in fact just immediately before my introduction to Transvestia, such a recital would have been impossible. So my sincere thanks to Virginia, Barbara, Joyce- and whoever else may have a hand in Chevalier Publications.

I have never had the opportunity or occasion before to use a more desirable and appropriate name, and so it will be with pleasure and satisfaction to sign,

Donna

THE BOOK FOR WIVES

The fact that this book is now available was announced in TVia #17. At that time a title had not been selected and it was given in general terms as INTRODUCTION TO TRANSVESTISM.

Just to keep the record straight the title finally selected was "THE TRANSVESTITE AND HIS WIFE, A DISCUSSION FROM BOTH POINTS OF VIEW". This appeared to be more descriptive.

It is pleasant to report that it has already helped several wives to see things differently. One of them said, "I credit it with saving my marriage." Feeling that there were not so many un- understanding wives as there are TVia readers we did not print nearly so many of these, so if you wish one it might be well to get your order in. Price $3 prepaid.
