Except building, sawing and brickmaking, nothing of consequence is now carried on here.

The account which I received a few days ago from the brickmakers of their labours, was as follows.

Wheeler (one of the master brick-makers) with two tile stools and one brick stool, was tasked to make and burn ready for use 30000 tiles and bricks per month.

He had twenty-one hands to assist him, who performed every thing; cut wood, dug clay, etc.

This continued (during the days of distress excepted, when they did what they could) until June last.
