FOREIGN SUES: Asia/Africa/ Australia/N. & S. America: £6 per year (airmail): 24 per year (ordinary). Western Europe: 14 per year. Dear Comrades, Greetings from Long Kesh Camp. Please accept this short letter as an acknowledgement and also as an appreciation for the interest that MG has shown me as regards the socialist political material which I have grateruly received.

I have been Interned/Detained since the first round up of political dissidents on the morning of 9th August 1971, and have been held without charge or trial at the above Camp since then. My local Peoples Democracy group (PD) have gone to great pains to ensure that my time is not wasted by sending me a wealth of material to study. The ING paper. "Red Mole. is really top class, and I sincerely hope you achieve the objective of a weekly paper. My financial resources are rather limited but please accept the enclosed E1 (one pound) towards the Fund Drive. Comrades, you are assured of the support of the Irish Revolutionaries in your fight against British Capitalism, and in return your support for our struggle against British Imperialism has not gone unnoticed. Our obiectives are just ones and we are confident of success although this has been made more difficult by the fostered differences in the working class created admirably by the establishment; but 1 do believe they shall eventually see that they are only but tools in the hands of the British Govemment.

Thank you Comrades for the concern shown to my country and to myself.

Yours fraterally, But it toilengt Phil McCullough (Political Detainee, Long Kesh Internment Camp. Lisburn, Ulster)
