I left her once more, and set out for _Kidderminster_, in order to judge
if the situation would suit us.--As soon as I came there I waited
immediately on _Mr. Fawcet_, who was pleased to receive me very kindly
and recommended me to _Mr. Watson_ who employed me in twisting silk and
worsted together. I continued here about a fortnight, and when I thought
it would answer our expectation, I returned to _Norwich_ to fetch my
wife; she was then near her time, and too much indisposed. So we were
obliged to tarry until she was brought to bed, and as soon as she could
conveniently travel we came to _Kidderminster_, but we brought nothing
with us as we were obliged to sell all we had to pay our debts and the
expences of my wife's illness, &c.
Such is our situation at present.--My wife, by hard labor at the loom,
does every thing that can be expected from her towards the maintenance
of our family; and God is pleased to incline the hearts of his People at
times to yield us their charitable assistance; being myself through age
and infirmity able to contribute but little to their support.
