1511. Is that a common practice, to get two quarter pounds of tea and to sell one of them, or to get several quarter pounds in payment for your shawl?-No; I just got it as I asked for it.
1512. Have you sold anything else besides tea which you got from the shop?-Yes, cottons and some moleskins which I had to take out of the shop in order to pay my rent.
1513. I don't see any moleskins marked here?-No; they are not in that book.
1514. Had you any other book?-No; it was when I sold my own shawls that I took the moleskins.
1515. You say you buy your own wool: where do you buy it?- There is a woman who spins it for me. I buy it in worsted.
1516. Do you pay her for it in money?-Yes.

1518. How are you paid for them?-I sold the last two to Miss Robina Leisk.
1519. Is she a merchant in Lerwick?-Yes.
1520. Has she a shop?-Yes.
