Boston, May 21. . . . [go to last paragraph of column]  
Last Wednesday forty five daughters of liberty met, in the
morning, at the house of the reverend Mr. Morehead, in this
town; in the afternoon they exceeded fifty.  By the evening
of said day they spun 232 skeins of yarn, some very fine. 
Their labour and materials were all generously given to the
worthy pastor. . . . The whole was conducted with many
agreeable tunes, anthems, and liberty songs, with great
judgement, and fine voices; performed, and animated on this
occasion, in all their several parts, by a number of the
Sons of Liberty . . .
