TRANSVESTIA

will read it again, several times. It is my wish that everyone, FPs, families, friends, and just plain people would read it. It would stop so much heartbreak for so many people, those actively engaged as well as those on the fringes. Thanks for writing it, but why didn't you get it to me sooner?

Now, relative to Transvestia, I cannot remember when I have en- joyed a publication as much as I have enjoyed the four copies which you sent me. They were great. Now, please send me copies number 52, 88, 89, either to keep or rent. Enclosed please find my check.

Dear Virginia:

I have just finished reading your book, Understanding Cross Dressing. WOW!! I feel that you got inside my head and pulled to- gether all the thoughts that have been running around there for years. You have also given me some new slants on the whole business of being an FP. My wife of nearly 19 years and I have been going around and around on this subject all of our married life and it has caused much grief. We are presently in great turmoil-largely because of many unresolved sexual problems that stem from my FP tendencies. She is now reading your book-of her own volition, and I am hoping that it may give her some insights that will help our rela- tionship. Since I am now also going through the mid-life crisis, it will take a great deal of work to get these things all resolved, but your book will certainly be of great help. I am also working with a great therapist who helps tie things together. Hopefully, I will be able to integrate "the girl within" with my male personality, for my wife seems to like the sensitivity that I display in that space, but it doesn't carry over to the male side.

Roger-N.Y.
