have never been in want in the highcfl: 

 of the late high prices. Large families 

 in this place are no incumbrance ; all are 

 fet to work. 



America takes three-fourths of all the 

 manufacflures of Manchejier. 



I am obliged to Mr. Archibald BelU of 

 St, Amis Square y and iMr. Hamiltoiiy two 

 of the principal manufa(5turers in the town, 

 the firlt in the fuftian branch, and the lat- 

 ter in the check, for the heads of the pre*- 

 ceding intelligence. Had I been fortu- 

 nate enough to meet v/ith gentlemen 

 equally knowing, and obliging, at many 

 other manufadturing towns, I fhould have 

 been able to give a much better account of 

 them ; but the fuccefs of fuch undertak-r 

 ings as this Tour, mufl: depend, in a good 

 meafure, on the people one meets with. 



To-morrow begins with the Duke of 

 Bridgwater y I dial I therefore conclude this 

 long epiftle, by affuring you, that I fliall 

 ?ver remain, ^c. &c.
