He is cross-tempered sometimes. He does not beat me; he beats the little children if they do not do their work right…I have sometimes seen the little children drop asleep or so, but not lately. If they are catched asleep they get the strap. They are always very tired at night…I can read a little; I can’t write. I used to go to school before I went to the mill; I have since I am sixteen.”

We have hard work to live as it is…My husband is of the same mind about it…last summer my husband was 6 weeks ill; we pledged almost all our things to live; the things are not all out of pawn yet…We complain of nothing but short wages…My children have been in the mill three years.
