I am apprehensive still that it would do better for the Master then the Workmen find it will do for them which make them all protest against it, & therefore as we have been at no small charge in erecting it am of Opinion it will be most adviceable to have a tryall faithfully made by some other workmen (if possible) who are not concern’d about our own Mills.
