Transvestia

Dear Friends:

I have recently experienced a miracle! After reading Virginia Prince's book, The Transvestite and His Wife, I gained the most elusive quality of life-respect for myself. This has freed me from my prison of self-hatred and opened me to the greatest of joys-that of fully experiencing my love for my wife whom I cherish above all. Although I must admit that life isn't perfect, now it can never again be as bad as it was.

I am very much a man and I am very much a woman. The two are no longer mutually exclusive. I am on the path to a totally integrated personality. For that I wish to thank Virginia Prince and that lucky twist of fate that allowed me to be a transvestite. But most of all I thank my wife's love for making life worthwhile.

Love,

Dianna-CA

Dear Virginia:

Enclosed is my check for your new book, Understanding Cross Dressing. I hope you enjoy a good sale, to not only defray costs but to return a small profit at least.

I was glad to receive #88 of Transvestia. Frankly, I was becoming somewhat concerned that our publication had suffered its demise for I know you have had rather hard sledding during the past year. Hopefully your appeal will result in a build-up of readership.

You are to be congratulated on the way you have kept this little. magazine going over the years with the same high standard of writing, with never a compromise into sensationalism in an attempt to build up circulation. Possibly you have often wondered if it was all worth while when at times it may have seemed your efforts were not fully appreciated, as evidenced by a falling off of subscriptions. However, I believe I am speaking for many of us who like myself have been a reader since the long ago issue #1, that we admire what you are doing and look on you as a friend, although we have never met. In short I hope you will be able to keep going for the forseeable future. You go with our heartfelt best wishes.
