"ALSO TERRIBY GLAD TO HAVE THE CONRAD PARAGRAPHS RE-WRITTEN,

VERY MUCH EASIER TO MAKE SENSE OF THIS WAY. THOUGHT THE DIALOGUE IN 'SUMMER STORY BY DIANA STERLING WAS VERY NATURAL.

"BACK TO MY PET PEEVE AGAIN, TOO LITTLE 'LESBIANA'. ASK THROUGH 'READERS RESPOND' AND SEE IF YOUR READERS DON'T USE THAT COLUMN TO FIND BOOKS."

"I NOTICED AN 'EDITOR'S NOTE IN YOUR JULY ISSUE OF THE LADDER COMPLAINING OF THE LACK OF COMMENTS ON YOUR ARTICLES AND STORIES. MY IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS INDIGNATION. HERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE (I SAID TO MYSELF) WHO INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND (MYSELF INCLUDED) TALKING ABOUT WHAT SHOULD BE DONE AND WHAT SOCIETY'S ATTITUDE SHOULD BE, ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT. AND ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WRITE IN AND GIVE THEIR THANKS. YEP, I WAS PRETTY MAD ABOUT THE WHOLE THING, IT SUDDENLY, AND YOU MUST ADMIT BRILLIANTLY, OCCURED TO ME THAT IT WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES FOR ME TO PERSONALLY WRITE

THANKS'."

I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO

WRITE TO YOU TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH |

LIKE 'LOVE IS NOT LOVE' BY JODY SHOTWELL (THE LADDER, AFRIL, 1959.) IN MY OPINION IT IS THE BEST PIECE OF FICTION THAT HAS BEEN PRINTED IN THE LADDER SINCE | SUBSCRIBED.
