Transvestia

When the problem of transvestism comes up in a family the memvers search frantically for information. Doctors dont know much about it and neither does any= one else. Imagine the plight of a worried mother or wife who has found her son or husband dressed in her clothing. She comes to the library seeking informa- tion and finds "Mr. Madam"! After reading that and thinking that this describes her son or husband she is liable to commit suicide or do away with him. At the very least it could make a bad situation infinite- ly worse. May I suggest that the library make a point of obtaining the book, "The Transvestite and His Wife". This book was written specifically as a guide to the wife faced with this problem. It was published by Argyle Press in Los Angeles in 1967 but can also be obtained from the address given on the enclosed pam- phlet.

You would serve the public better either by re- moving "Mr. Madam" from your shelves or at the very least file it under something other than "Transvest- ism" as it does not deal with that subject at all. The library has the obligation to provide information to people concerned with this problem which will help enable them to deal with it. I hope you will do your plain duty of getting a book that will help and removing or relisting one which can do irreparable

harm.
