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.
