Dear Virginia,

I would like to express my views of articles, material, and the general contents of TRANSVESTIA. I don't believe in snap judgements, but I am a confirmed believer in first impressions. Since I have only been acquainted with you and the organization for a few months, I consider myself qualified to express an unbiased impression of TRANSVESTIA being seen for the first time. I will also add the first impression of my G.G. friend. As you know, it would be impossible for me to mention all my sisters who have thoughtfully contributed to TRANSVESTIA, and to attempt to mention all of the various articles, so I'm going to choose some at random.

I found TRANSVESTIA, from the very first copy I received, to be quite informative for both the senior FP as well as the new girl reading it for the first time. Such articles as "Measure Right to Look Your Best" contributed by Ann 10-M-2 (TVia No. 61) are of such importance. Ann could have used the same space and have really said nothing, but in- stead, she provided valuable information on a subject that she was not only familiar with, but evidently did some research on. It is a contri- bution one FP is making for the benefit of all. This is the impression that I received.

Fiction stories are very entertaining, and provide a chance for the FP to leave reality behind for a short time, which should be done by more people. It also offers the FP the opportunity to entertain her friends and possibly express some inner feelings in her story.

“A Doctors Views on Transvestism" (No. 61) is another article that contributes so much. These articles, for one example, help the FP ex- plain to her GG. I know from personal experience that my GG friend found most of the stories and photos confusing the first time she read TRANSVESTIA. Now she recalls that the articles such as the one by the good doctor help so much in her understanding and accepting Femmiphilia. She also mentioned many of the personal articles of Virginia's. Remember that it is difficult for a GG to understand the feelings an FP has for nylon hose, high heels and etc.
