Virginia had to let poor Charles out of the closet. So there had been a full three weeks as Virginia, staying in 5 hotels, on 4 planes, seeing the same people repeatedly and just being me. Peace, it's wonderful. Poor Charles, I really got even with him. for all the years that he kept me cooped up. But when I let him out he was his old self with no left- overs of me. Regardless of what the detractors of the dual personality concept may say, it is true, and it does work. Their problem is simply the same as the ordinary person--they cannot grasp that which they have not experienced.

I would like to close with the comment that I relate my experiences like this because I think that many of you enjoy living them vicariously. I do not write of them for the purpose of bragging that "I did this or that". Neither do I do so in the sense of trying to set any of you an example to go and do likewise. Please do not say, "If she can do it so can I" unless you are really ready thru years of ex- perience. I would feel terribly if my adventures should be taken as an example that might lead anyone else into trouble. But it was wonderful and I thought you'd like to live it through me. Bye for now,

VIRGINIA
