Letter from isolated gay man, living in rural Cork in 1980s, to Cork gay organisation, seeking contact. He outlines how none of his friends know he is gay and that he feels very isolated at times. He is afraid to give his name and address, but asks that someone from the group phone him at a local public phone box.
