Tranvestia

tried a wig on me. She was quite enthused over my appearance but I would not do as she desired.

Another once asked me why I had never married. After much coaxing I told her of my being a transvestite and she informed me that were she my wife she would not object to my dressing as a woman. In fact she gave me a girl's name and we often discussed likes and dislikes in feminine attire. This was all by correspondence and other than her photograph, I never saw her or met her. We wrote after her marriage for a while and she would send me clippings of persons who were caught in female attire, always saying she was afraid someday of reading where I had been arrested.

Sincerely, Carol

It was a masterpiece since it had reproduced in color on its top the symbolic drawing that decorates the front of every issue of TVia. It was a beautiful job and
