David says, "With this fifteen dollars we fixed up pretty grand, as we thought." After a while, in some unexplained way, they succeeded in getting a spinning-wheel.

The little wife, says David, "knowed exactly how to use it.

She was also a good weaver.

Being very industrious, she had, in little or no time, a fine web of cloth ready to make up.

She was good at that too, and at almost anything else a woman could do." Here this humble family remained for two years.
