The Misteries of Weaving

This agreement made between the Revd. Francis Neale of St. Thomas's Manor ..., and Mrs. Elizabeth Norris of Ceder Point neck..., showeth that he ... has engaged Mrs. Elizabeth Norris to execute all the weaving that is wanted for the Manor and to take under her controul all the spiners of wool, cotton, and flax, and to see that they perform their tasks, which she will regularly guide thereon once a day, or once a week as she may think proper. The said Mrs. E. Norris does hereby agree to teach the misteries of weaving to the person which may be pointed out to her by the Revd. Francis Neale, and likewise she will regularly inform Revd. Fr. Neale, or the person employed by him of the behaviour of the spiners, their not doing their duty, if such should be the case, or the encroachment of men-servants on the room appointed for them to work in. She will also keep in employment those children which may be sent to her in whatever they can do, she shall see that the washing, ^and^ ironing, be regularly performed in the kitchen at her house and all of them to be sent to the house-keeper at the Manor.
