This text was corrected by hand against the scan: hand transcription from the scan (van Gelderen pass, transcribed from the scan 3 Nov 2026): Socialist Challenge No. 183, p7; boxed letter signed CHARLIE VAN GELDEREN, London. The split had run it into the record of Geoff Bell's '1931' (p8), which had taken this letter's headline.

I AM once again making an appeal for funds for Books for Southern Africa. Our last appeal brought a fair response and we have been able to send quite a lot of books to groups of South African revolutionaries all over Africa.

The increasing cost of books and freight charges have now exhausted what money we had.

These books provide vital ammunition for our comrades who are trying to lay the foundations for building revolutionary socialist parties in Africa. We are also hoping to provide them with the means of publishing their own material.

I know there are great demands on comrades' money but this is part of the job of building the world party of the socialist revolution.

All funds to: Books for SA, PO Box 50, London N1.

CHARLIE VAN GELDEREN, London
