Fitty

Having spent a lot of my earlier life in the Weaving Mills, I am familiar with Cotton Warpers - but as yet can not make out for certain that last word.

Can you please reproduce more of that page so that we can compare the letters with other words

Thanks

Chris in 1066Land

Looks a lot like 'Cotton Warp Docker'
