Hi Clint:

As you already know, I'm mad for your Substack and this week was no exception. You featured a lovely short story regarding Edward Carpenter. I'm embarrassed to say he is another important character in our LGBTQ+ history about whom I knew/know nothing. I appreciate you taking the time to lift-up this legend for those of us who do now know of him.

I was able to find all three of the books you mentioned (and quite a few more), at ThriftyBooks.Com. I encourage everyone to go to this site and pick-up a copy of one of his books; he was an extremely prolific writer.

Thank you again for all you do, Clint, and I hope everyone has a fabulous Labor Day Weekend - arguably, the most important of our country's history.

Take care,

Donald Auguston

I did. I am supposed to get my books tomorrow. I really appreciate you bringing this man's name/life to my attention. It seems too much happens these days to remember our forebearers. Take care, DA

Happy Labour Day Clint. Now I see it's National Lemon Juice day, that's a little tart (or Tarte) on the lips 👄👄 so no kissing please 😁😎😲 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴🇬🇧

Oh, pucker up, Buttercup! When life hands us lemons, we don’t just make lemonade—we add a little sweetness and serve it with a wink. And a kiss. Cheers, my dears! 🍋💋
