at the end of each letter, but these served to tell more about his mentality than they did to down grade the letters, Interestingly enough from the two dif- ferent articles we have acquired about a dozen new readers who read between the lines and could see that there was something here for them. That is, a dozen who stated that they saw the article in Confidential. How many other of our new subscribers also came from that source I dont know. But it shows that "it is an ill wind that blows no good". Also it shows that when a number of us do something collectively we have an effect. Wish we could do more.

IV. F.P.E. CHEVALIER AND VIRGINIA: There are quite a few among our readers who apparently do not under- stand the relationship between Fran and FPE and Vir- ginia and Chevalier. Fran does not, for personal reasons, want to become involved with a box address in her home city. Thus Chevaliers box is the place to send FPE correspondence and it gets forwarded to her. If it is something that I do not have to deal with it is forwarded immediately if you send it in a stamped envelope. If it is an FPE application or something else that I have to have a hand in, it is saved up about a week or 10 days to make a "pouch" which is sent to her via insured mail. This makes a little delay. At the other end Fran does all that she does--and it is considerable and I wish more peo- ple appreciated her efforts -- for free and in her "spare" time. Being a busy and responsible executive and having a wife, 2 kids and a large home to take care of obviously spare time is not too plentiful. So dont be too impatient when you dont get something back immediately.

Chevalier on the other hand is a business that has to keep financial records and order records. You just make extra work for me, and I'm up to my eyes already, when you send one check to cover a Chevalier purchase and an FPE dues payment. It means that I have to enter and deposit it and then make out my own check to FPE and send it on to Fran. This
