Quantity of Labour from the first of November, 1828, to the first 

 of November , 1829. 



Myself the whole year — One man 10 months— Another man 9 

 months — And another man 5 months. Besides my own labour, 

 there were C24 days work done upon the farm, and in the manu- 

 facture, that is, the cutting and preparing for those who make them 

 of 13,000 pair of shoes — The shoes, (taking the estimate of Messrs. 

 Putnam and Preston given in the pamphlet above referred to, page 

 26, as correct) would require the labour of one man for 375 days. 

 Deducting these 375 days from the above 624 — we have left for 

 labour on the farm 249 days for one man, in addition to my own 

 labour.
