Description

Letter written from 'Pat' to Cara-Friend. Cara-Friend was established in Belfast by a group of gay men and women in October 1974 as a completely voluntary befriending and information organisation for lesbian, gay and bisexual persons, or anyone for whom same-sex orientation was a matter of concern.

In the letter, Pat reveals that they are being treated for alcoholism and requests that Monica from Cara-Friend get in touch with them to help them come to terms with their sexuality. Contact details have been redacted.
