The Petition:
B 4858 – General Post Office – 10.10.74
A Post Office at Crudine
To the Honorable
The Postmaster General
Sydney
(Residents at Crudine)
Sir,
Your Petitioners would humbly call your attention to the very unsatisfactory and inconvenient state we are placed in regarding our correspondence. In order to get our correspondence we are obliged to go to Upper Pyramul a distance of 8 miles from the nearest point; to Sofala a distance of 13 miles, or to Ilford a distance of 13 miles. During wet weather the Creek gets impassable even on horseback to Upper Pyramul and Sofala, which causes a great delay in obtaining our correspondence and of course infuring us as Farmers in not being apprised of the state of the Markets.
Being all Farmers and Residents on this place, whose signatures are appended, and knowing the interest you take in Postal Communication, we sincerely hope you will be kind enough to grant us a Post Office with a weekly or biweekly mail to and from Ilford, as you may think requisite.
Hoping Sir, you will be kind enough to grant our request, you Petitioners will ever pray, etc.
We have the honor to be Sir,
Your very Obedient Servants,
Crudine, via U Pyramul
Oct. 6th, 1874
