touser

— He [a correspondent] continues:—‘[‘]If you were in Buryan Church-town this evening, you might probably hear Betty Trenoweth say, ‘I ’ll take off my touser, [toute serve,] and run up to Janey Angwins to cousey [causer] a spell; there ’s a lot of boys gone in there, so there ’ll be a grand courant, [de courir,] I expect.’[…]” The touser is a large apron or wrapper to come quite round and keep the under garments clean.
