Griffin, Ga. Erin P.O., Ga. May 10, 1866 Dear Star: We have rain "world without end." Wheat has rust, at least on the blades. Crops "[?] up" for want of work; a poor stand of cotton, for want of good seed and sunshine; "general green" about to take this country. Starvation now faces us in all its hideousness. As the Era does not seem disposed to explain why we are cursed with such weather, I am looking to the Star for an explanation, as from its locality it ought to know something about the heavenly arrangements. - W.
