Gloucester, (First Parish) December 23, 1768.
A few weeks ago, about twenty eight industrious females of
this parish met together at the house of their minister, and
spent the day in the laudable employment of spinning; A few
days after another company of thirty-eight of the daughters
of industry assembled at the same place for the same
business, laying their hands to the spindle. Several of them
furnished themselves with materials, which they willingly
offered as well as their labour. In the evening after they
had compleated their work a discourse was delivered to them
and many others, in the place of public worship, from Exod.
xxxv. 25. And all the women which were wise hearted did spin
with their hands. And the solemnity was closed with singing
an Anthem.
