MERCHANDISE SHEET: Many readers write in asking for a description of some item of merchandise or in- formation about it. I can't answer each so I'm go- ing to put together a sheet describing each in de- tail, so if you care for a copy ask for it.

VI. THEA'S MISDEEDS: Previously I have merely indi- cated that THEA had made a lot of mistakes in hand- ling the orders received prior to last Oct. when I took over personally. I have made good on these with- out question when they were brought to my attention. Now I am making the flat statement that THEA was a thief without qualifications. I have unearthed too much incontrovertible evidence. She took money out of the mail and pocketed it, I have gotten money or- ders on which my name was forged and cashed by her, and a check sent to me without a payee being entered because the sender did not know how I wanted it made out. THEA took this check, gave it to a friend to enter his name as payee and then to cash it. I am therefore asking again that those of you who had dif ficulty in getting merchandise during the period of about Oct. '64 to Oct. '65 and who pay by check to do me the favor of looking thru the stubs of that period and sending me any check that seems improper in any way. Anything other than the Receiver's en- dorsement (R. E. Allen), a "deposit to Chevalier Pub- lications" stamp, or my personal signature as Charles or Virginia Prince and in my handwriting (verify from preceeding or subsequent check endorsements) is like- ly to be useful evidence. Please send such checks to I promise to return them to you. Money orders might have been forged too but they are hard to trace and cash is impossible. So I ask your cooperation. As near as I can figure it she bilked me out of about $1500 at the very time I was trying to help her out of her troubles. Turns out that she wrote bad checks on about a dozen other places around too, so this is not just sour grapes on my part. While she has not conceeded the total figure she has admitted stealing.
