TRANSVESTIA

world really owes a debt of gratitude to you. I know you are busy and engrossed in running your business enterprises and don't need to spend a lot of time sitting around reading my praises of you, yet I do thank you for your positive influences in my life and in the lives of those I've had the privilege of serving as a counselor and confidant.

With loving regards, Janet, TX

My Dear Virginia:

Enclosed you will find my application for membership in the Tri Sigma Sorority. I have read your excellent book, Understanding Cross Dressing, and am very enthusiastic about it.

For years I have been the so-called "closet specimen" and did not realize the scope of so many sisters with the same feelings.

May I compliment you on your book. It is well written and shows a keen insight into the mind and actions of people. The explanations between TV, TS, homosexuality and other different groups helps to dispel any uneasiness that an individual may have concerning them- selves.

Keep up your good work. I hope that some day I may have the pleasure of meeting you in person.

Sincerely, Marian, WA
