Summary
Reporting that the "spinning Jenny is at work, well while with washed cotton, but very ill when with unwashed. at least this is Maria's way of accounting for the occasional difference of it's work. the flying shuttle began a little yesterday, but owing to a variety of fixings which the loom required it exhibited very poorly. we hope to see it do better today."
