Respected Friend Thos Rotch
Your favour of the
7th Inst was duly Received for which
I thank you. Some workman from
Humphries Ville came here the day
before I received your letter & agreed
to make our machines. The Jenny
of 40 Spindles for $60 - the other they
thought could not be afforded for that
they however agreed to make them
as low as any regualr workman-
I fully agree with you in your obser
vations as to the Manufactoring business
I doubt not but you plan of mixing
Cotton & Wool will answer a good
purpose - There is no full Blood
Merino Ewe to be had within the Circle
