More regarding Livingstone...

I spoke with his court appointed lawyer in Waco, who told me that he's
still jailed because INS (Immigration and Naturalization) has a "hold"
on him, as an "illegal alien." I didn't think to ask if that's because
his visa ran out or how long it's might've been like that. The resolu-
tion seems obvious enough though -- deport him. Better that than hold-
ing  an innocent and uncharged man  as a prisoner in jail  month after
month. More evidence that he is being held as a religious prisoner, an
example to all who aren't in the system.

Here's part of his most recent letter to me, dated from the 13th, and
received today (15th).  The envelope was taped shut  with scotch tape
where it had been sliced open for inspection as was the last one, and
others.

    Dear Stephen,

    I received your letter  of July 10th.  Once again it was re-
    warding to hear from you.  I have already  started receiving
    mail from the computer net-works. The prospect of being able
    to communicate the Truth of Mt. Carmel is very refreshing.

    By now Rita has probably informed you of my lawyer's address.
    In any case,  his name is T. Bradley Cates, operating out of
    Waco.

    With regards to  the other things  you enquired about.  Yes,
    for the second time  I have been stripped  of my belongings.
    It was not too long ago my Bible was returned.

    My son and daughter  aged 4 and 7  are now with relatives in
    England.  I believed  the familiar surroundings  would be of
    some comfort to them.  I love them dearly, however the know-
    ledge of their appropriate care  and happiness  will suffice
    until we are securely reunited.

    The length of my stay  in Coryell County Jail  is uncertain.
    I am prevented by jail rules  from revising my visitors list
    until  August 9th.  My  lawyer  is  attempting  to get  this
    changed, allowing unlimited number of visitors. I shall keep
    you informed of developments.

    With reference to your sidenote.

[That would be my note about a dry river bed that runs across Arabia,
perhaps one of the rivers of Genesis 2. --Sdt]

    It is interesting that to the north, Jerusalem,  God intends
    to re-establish His kingdom.  From the midst of the [house?]
    will flow living waters,  out of which the Tree of Life will
    emerge,  (Ezekiel 47).  It appears that was the sight of the
    Garden of Eden.  That whole region  is covered  with mystery
    soon to be revealed, under the 6th Seal.

    I had mentioned  in my letter  something of a desire to com-
    municate something of the faith of the Davidians to you. En-
    closed  is a brief attempt  to capture  in writing our faith
    and hope.  Hopefully we can pursue further discussion, these
    notes can be considered a point of common reference.  Please
    type them and return x10 copies to me.  There are others re-
    questing information and I lack the facilities. Stephen this
    is much appreciated.

    Livingston Fagan

And I'll provide the text of Livingston's enclosure forthcoming.

His address remains:   Livingstone Fagan
                       CC Jail, 510 Leon St.

When the time comes I hope we'll still be able to send mail out
of the new re-education (boot)camps.
