RANSVESTIA

inquired via Eve Brown (a second money order) still no return, so I wrote it off. Then I sent a wrong order (too much) to Slavik at Empthay... lost that too. In you and Mardi Gras Enterprises I have confidence money wise. I appreciate what you have done although other than through TVia I have not directly benefitted. But TVia has a high literary as well as informative value. I have no "history" article to submit, for almost all that I've done I've seen at one time or another in the magazine.

I've said it before, and I'm sure you'll hear it again—as you go, so goes TVia. If you quit it will probably die. I'm sure you never dreamed 17 years ago that your fosterchild would grow and live as it has. I hope amidst your labors, that every so often you take time to feel proud of yourself. Even if the magazine were not of such high value as it is.. 91 issues is a lot of paper, a lot of ink and more sweat.

Well, take care of yourself. You can't change all of the world at once. To run yourself into the ground becuase of ill health, accident, etc., would be a great loss to a great number of people, more than now realize it.

Regards,

L.K.-MN.

Editors Note: The following two letters should be of interest to readers so I reproduce them here. Since they were written person to person and not originally intended for publication, I have deleted the names of the writers and the recipient. Suffice it to say that the first one is from one FP to another in an attempt to help in a domestic crisis. The second letter is fromt he first FP's wife to the second FP's wife in a further woman to woman effort to help. Perhaps printing them here will be of help to some of you or your wives.

Dear L

I am sorry I did not answer sooner, but I thought I better do it right than fast, that is I wanted to give my wife time to write her part and not push her.

I hope that the few lines might be of some help. I am lucky indeed
