achieve the goal of being as pretty and as feminine as possible. Now that we have both read "The TV and Wife," she understands and we have become a much closer family now that TV is fully out in the open and it is understood and welcomed into the household. Neither one of us has any regrets of my being a TV. I feel I am one of the luckiest girls in the world to have such a wonderful wife. Anytime she buys Chuck a birthday present or Christmas present, she also buys Sheila a present. She already has my wardrobe very up-to-date.

Although I have been dressing for a long time, Sheila Ann (my wife picked out the middle name) was really introduced to our home only about three months ago. And I have you to thank for this. Prior to reading your magazine and the "TV and Wife," I honestly didn't know very much about the subject of Transvestism and if I was "right" in the head. We are very happy that there are other people in the world that have similar interests and I'm not alone in enjoying this wonderful thing. I'm very happy to be a TV, and would not want to live without it. It has brought much happiness to both my wife and myself.

When we were married, my wife was not aware of my desire to wear feminine clothes and I was afraid to try to explain it to her. I started by wearing her heels around the house and gradually acquired more and more items. I finally told her that I did like to wear women's clothes and she was very happy to let me do so. She purchased a wig for me and a complete set of cosmetics and added to my wardrobe as time went by. I now have a very beautiful ward- robe, thanks to her. It is a great thrill to get something new, such as a new dress or a pair of heels, or hose. It's an experience I never had as Chuck.

I am presently located in Japan. I am on the Island of Hokaiddo, the northernmost. I guess I'll always remember this place, because this is where Sheila Ann was born. Since receiving your writings, I have had so much more confidence in myself and am relieved that I'm not alone.

Sincerely, Sheila

P.S. Am enclosing a picture of myself. Maybe you can use it, maybe you can't.
