sore throat & cold.

I am now in the midst of the Potteries
which are so noted in England The potteries
include the following Market towns Tunstell
Burslem, Hanley, Stoke, Lane end, & several other villages

The whole population of the Potteries in 1838
was 65000. These potteries are for the ma-
nifactering of English china, crockery,
& stone ware of every description

We visited Hanley & sup'd at Brother
