Dear Contributor:
We thank U for submitting this drawing to us. Rejection does not necessarily imply lack of merit.
Firstly, we feel that, inasmuch as the original is in color, we could not do justice to it in black and white reproduction, & shoud recommend your sending it to one the hecto or color-mimeo fmz.
But we principally are not anxious to publish it, because it violates our (name of fmz) maiden tabu. We believe U are familiar with this, having read (name of editor)'s English article, "Nude Gals". We have evry desire that our fantasy nudes be beautiful, & have no more intention of publishing a picture of a girl who, thru proposterous[[?]] custom, has been denuded of one of her most attractive natural attributes, than we have of presenting a bald-headed girl! In fine, your picture, having been "emasculated", tends to offend our esthetic sense; &, at the least, impresses us as bare and ineffectual.
We hope U will try us again, with something in accord with our establisht policy.
Thanking U again for considering us,
Novaciously[[?]],
