Rev. F.P. Strickland, 10 October 1881

'I much regret to have to inform you that the men are in a state of revolt . they are all confederate to ruin the station . last week Morgan swore he would not put in another pole, not one on the Station will put a potato seed in the ground . Punch, Barak, Dunolly and Morgan are the leaders.'
