I am not going to fill your head with all this wonderful nonsense as I did in my last letter, but I want to say how much Transvestia and F.P.E. has lightened my existence. Many thanks for a chance at life and I cannot express my appreciation in full for the work you are doing.

I am sincerely trying to grope my way to a better understanding and to elevate my qualifications to a point where I can be of further service to the Organization. But I understand some of the reluctance and I am afraid to ask too much at once because I have so many questions and I don't want to overstep my position. But I am coming to be more at ease with myself and striving to be better.

Sincerely,

Connie 43-A-1 FPE

Dear Virginia,

A physical change has taken place in me since that night you were on the Allen Burke Show.

After being a chronic finger nail biter for as long as I can remember, I have not bitten them once since that night. I've not even had to con- sciously resist the desire to bite them. In years past I tried to quit biting them at the urging of my Mother and one of my ex-wives but always to no avail. Perhaps it is just knowing that there are others who share in my feelings that has rid me of this nervous habit. Or it may be a sign of self acceptance. Whatever the reason may be I'm proud of them and today for the first time since I was just a small fry I put polish on them.

After talking to you I removed the polish and put it on with long flow- ing strokes from cuticle to tip and they are just beautiful.

Tomorrow Gary is going to buy some gloves for Gail so we can leave them polished all week since we are on vacation, and I've pretty much taken over our life for the entire week.

Well, time for me to go soak in Calgon Bath Oil Beads, so will sign off for now.

Very Femininely Yours,

Gail
