Abstract:
Has submitted her notice at work and intends to take up textile work elsewhere, seemingly with her sister who is to set up in Chamberlain. "I want to go on warping very much or drawing in but if I cant git in on either Ill go in on weaving." Would like Julia to accompany them, "we could work all in one room." Worried the other women will back out of their plan. Discusses long work hours, the fast pace of weaving, and difficult tasks, "O dear we work like dogs." References local excitement about going to California, hopes for her family.
