Autobiography Volume 1 circa 1842-1865
On the I visited each appartment of the silk factory
in New Castle and saw them manufacture silks from the raw material
to the weaver's loom.
A week after I visited Copeland's pottery works and found
it a great curiosity. Brother John Rowley made me a present of a china
box in token of friendship with the following inscription upon it in
letters of gold:
Willford & Phebe Woodruff
A Present from
Stoke upon Trent, England,
1840.
He also presented me with three small bottles with the
names incribed on them of Phebe Sarah Emma & Eunice;
also three china pitchers inscribed with
Willford Woodruff, Phebe Woodruff
Sarah Emma Woodruff
