Editorial Emanations

1. BACK ON THE JOB: Transvestia No. 57 finally got to you sev- eral months late. I am sorry about that but it was out of my control as I had gotten it to the printer before leaving on the European trip. This picture issue being less trouble to prepare helps us to get back on sched- ule and it is hoped that Nos. 59 and 60 will appear in November and December though it may run into January. We are doing our best.

II. FINANCIAL HELP: During the long delay waiting for No. 57 many of you did not send in future orders not knowing whether we were still in business or not. This has resulted in a considerable drop in Chevaliers income. Since our new printer is a professional pub- lisher of magazines and his work will be a big improvement, it is also true that it will cost more. This coupled with falling way behind sched- ule means that we will have to pay for 3 issues very close together and this will run into a lot of money. In addition we want to get out some more short stories and novelettes. We are not asking for gifts, but we would appreciate your placing your advance orders once again so that we will have some working capital with which to do these things. As I've said before it also helps to liquidate capital tied up in stock of back issues of TVia, the Clipsheet (No. 31 is current issue) and the FemmeMirror of which a number of issues are still available. Plus don't forget the special offer on CARNIVAL at $3 till stock on that gets down to a better level.

III. MANUSCRIPT PAYMENTS: We are now current on payments for your past contributions. We regret the long delay but there were valid reasons. Now that we are even we hope to stay that way.
