No. 4 (March 1841) of the Lowell Offering, a monthly of original prose and verse written by women working in the Lowell, Massachusetts textile mills. It opens with an editorial on the permanence of the Offering and proposals for a new subscription series starting in April 1841. The issue then carries sketches, moral tales, allegories and poems such as Recollections of an Old Maid, A Woman's Voice to Woman, The Last Witch of Salmagundi, The Cousins and A Pic-Nic Party. Local advertisements for Lowell businesses are printed at the end. It has no weaving content, but it is a primary source for the writing and social standing of mill operatives.
