Boston, March 30. A gentleman at New-Port writes-- "As I am
a very great lover of Liberty, of Beauty, of Music, of my
Country, and of all those who endeavour to promote and
establish, by good oeconomy, its wealth, peace, prosperity
and tranquility, and being at the sign of Pitt's Head in
this town, on Tuesday last, was extremely pleased by having
admittance into the Company of Eleven of the Daughters of
Liberty, Ladies of Character, and Lovers of British Freedom,
and Industry; each being laudably employed in playing on a
musical instrument, called a spinning wheel, the melody of
whose music, and the beauty of the prospect, transcending
for delight, all the entertainments of life.
. . . [17 lines follow describing the spinning matches for
[producing home spun cloth.]
