Subject: Another letter from Livingstone Fagan
Date: 10 Jul 93 20:08:35 CST

	After Stephen's post several days ago about the gross mistreatment
of Livingstone Fagan, I wrote Fagan a letter at the address provided
by Stephen, namely:
			Mr. Livingstone Fagan
			510 Leon
			Gatesville, Texas 76528

	Today I received a reply from Livingstone.  He confirmed
everything Stephen has been saying and more.  I am posting Livingstone's
reply to my letter in its entirety, being assured that the 'authorities'
have already read it as stated by Livingstone and as confirmed by the
scotch tape on the seal to which he probably would not have had access.
In my letter to Fagan I enclosed a self-addressed stamped envelope and
urged that he return it with or without enclosed message to assure me
of receipt of my letter.

	Remember, Fagan is not free to make his own statement to the
world.  Remember, he is only a 'material witness', held without bail
for over 100 days with no charges against him.  

	Livingstone Fagan's Cry of the Heart:

	------------

						7/7/93

	Dear Mr. Gaut

		I received your letter this morning.  Let me first
	say how comforting it was to hear from you.  Sadly very few
	Americans appear to be aware, or concerned about those noble
	principles upon which this once great nation was founded.

		Although I am not an American citizen I must
	acknowledge, it was while in America I came to appreciate
	the true meaning of Liberty as a principle.  I have since
	learnt that, in practice this nation no longer lives up to
	the principles it professes.  The events at Mt. Carmel and
	my subsequent unlawful detention bear testimony to a most
	distressing state of affairs for the world.  My greatest
	concern is that so many look to this nation for leaderhsip.
	Their trust is greatly betrayed and abused, and has been 
	for so long.  One had to literally experience this situation
	to know the real truth.

		Liberty is indeed the outpouring of life.  To be denied
	it, is to be denied life itself.  If there was ever a cause
	worth fighting for this is it.  That very substance called
	life is intimately connected with the pursuit of truth and
	conscience.  Mt. Carmel was about the pursuit of truth and
	conscience as it is in God.  Inspite of what is propagandized
	about us, in death and imprisonment our consciences remain
	free.

		We made a choice for truth, and we placed it above
	temporal existence.  My heart is moved with tears of restrained
	joy.  The result of having been shattered and torn by the
	experience of the grave injustice practiced against us.  Joe,
	it may not be apparent to you, but believe me, through us God
	spoke to the world.  The essence of this truth is the subject
	matter of the seven seals.  This is what Mt. Carmel was truly
	about, and what the authorities fear the public becoming
	aware of.  As a spokesperson for our faith, which incidentally
	is so thoroughly based in scripture it's uncanny, I am being
	prevented from speaking much as David was.

		The medium of ink on paper, and the use of telephone
	are far too restrictive to communicate the essence of the
	seven seals.  I sit sometimes in dispair at what is being
	denied to the American people, and indeed to the world.  We
	have been given something very special.  Something so special
	it is worth sacrificing anything for.

		In spite of the loss of my wife, and my mother.  Also
	my children being taken from me I hold no hate, or anger 
	against those who persecute us.  The memory of those who I
	love engender concern for the soul salvation of those responsible.
	If they would but consider the seven seals.

		Presently I am classified a 'material witness.'  I
	have been detained as such for over 100 days now, with no end
	in sight.  The conditions of my incarceration are no different
	to any other person convicted, indicted, or charged with a
	crime.  Whilst at McLennan County jail for the longest while,
	I was locked up in a 10 x 12 room 24 hours a day, 7 days a
	week with three other adults.  This was in maximum security.
	Our only real comfort was we shared the same status.  My
	present condition has improved with respect to space.  Never-
	theless my communication is severely monitored.  Incoming and
	outgoing mail is opened and read.  I have an intercom system 
	in my cell.  For the longest while I was denied access to a
	copy of the jail policy statement.  On two occasions I have
	been denied counsel, awaiting approval from the U.S. Marshalls'
	Office.  My access to relatives abroad has been severely
	restrited.  The list goes on.

		My consolation is in the faith I hold.  The power of
	the seven seals has proven to me its capacity to endure
	whatever hunanity throws at it.  Let me further say Joe, you
	will find our beliefs are not as dissimilar as you might
	think.  Certainly our understanding of the basic rights from
	God appear to be in harmony.  There is so much more.

		Once again my appreciation for your concern and
	practical support.  Please write to confirm receipt of this
	letter.

	  	Regards

		Livingstone
