There are also paper mills w^{ch} dispatches paper at a quick rate, they were then makeing brown paper w^n I saw it. The mill is set agoing by y^e water and at y^e same tyme it pounded the raggs to morter for y^e paper, and it beate out meale and Hemp and ground bread altogether—that is at y^e same tyme.
