My dear Virginia;

Your European trip I know will benefit many and I hope this modest check will lighten your expense and bring happiness to many during your journey. I know your talks must do a lot of good and sometime I do hope, if you are lecturing in my section of Southern California, that I may be advised as I would like to attend.

I wish to complement you on your book, "How to be a Woman . . I think it is one of the best prepared and researched books I have ever read or studied. The Explanations are tremendous. I believe it is a book that every TV should have in his library and if read and studied by them would ease many of their problems. I also do believe your modest price is exceptional. The book with its detailed knowledge is worth double or triple and should be a must in one's library. Transvestia, too, is a well edited magazine. Sometimes with stories a little far fetched, but worthy of a chuckle.

Dear Virginia;

One Saturday night a few months ago, I was fully dressed, heels, make- up and all. I decided to go get the newspaper. So I drove downtown, parked my car, and got out.

You should have heard the horns honk. I walked to the newstand about a half block away, then a gentleman, I guess he was in his 30's, said, "Excuse me miss, but could you direct me? I'm new in town.”

I was scared to death, but he smiled, and talked very friendly. I felt so warm, and girlish I didn't know what to do. I smiled back and gave him his directions. He thanked me very politely and left. I felt so free and alive.

I hope someday all our girls in the world can have this feeling. I know Virginia is trying her best and I think we all owe her a great deal. I guess I'll close for now. Looking forward to my next issue.

Bye for now Michelle
