Request for an Australian prayer for rain – letter to Prime Minister John Curtin
A letter to Prime Minister J Curtin regarding rain.
I am writing to ask you if you will Call an Australian Prayer for Rain Sunday next[.]
We are in a great plight flock dying & facing ruin like hundreds of other Soldier Settlers[.]
Only God can send the rain[.]
Will you as the Prime Minister call all to prayer in All Churches that God Almighty will send rain to Relieve the Condition?
We have no money here as I have put all mine into bonds[.] Every loan I at Dunolly Bank have subscribed. Now we have no feed no water & losing stock & sheep every week.
