ning we hare received already a little towards the
expenses of the coming week. A brother gave me 10l., of which 5l. are
for the poor Irish and 5l. for the Orphans. Also 7s. 1d. from the
Orphan-box of a sister.

Feb. 11. Anonymously 2s. 6d. From Nottingham 1l. 15s.

Feb. 12. Anonymously, from a lady, 2l. to buy coals for the four
Orphan-houses.

Feb. 13. Anonymously from Islington a half-sovereign. By sale of Reports
8d.

Feb. 14. Through a sister 5s., from C. C. 8s. 3d., and anonymously 2s.
6d.

Feb. 15. From a Scotch sister 1l., by sale of stockings, Reports, and
articles 7l. 0s. 4d., from an Orphan- box 3s. O 1/2 d., from Nice 1l.,
anonymously 10s., from Cork 5s. 2d., and several shillings besides in
small donations, &c.--Thus there had come in again by this Tuesday
evening, Feb. 16th, 21l. 4s. 2d. during the past week. As, however, I
had to put by some money for the boys' clothes and rent, I could only
leave 12l. 4s. with the matrons, quite sufficient for a few days; and my
hope in God is, that He will send more, before this is gone.

Feb. 17. From the neighbourhood of Bridgewater 10s. 6d., and 1s. 1d.
came in besides. On the 18th came in 1l. more.

Feb. 19. This morning I gave myself again to prayer, importuning the
Lord that He would be pleased to send more means, as so little had come
in during the last two days. Almost immediately, after rising from my
knees, I received from Doncaster 3l. 3s. At the same tune I received
from Bromyard 5s., and 4s. from Aberystwith. About an hour later came
from a sister in the neighbourhood of Wotton-under-Edge 12s. 6d., a
lady's bag, and a knitted bread-basket cloth. Thus, with the 12l. 4s.
already given to the matrons, we are supplied till next Tuesday evening,
the 23rd of February.

Feb. 20. Today came in from the neighbourhood of Castle Cary 10s., by
sale of Reports 2l. 6d., and by sale of articles 10s. 6d. Also
anonymously a parcel from Tetbury, containing 2 shillings, a gold coin,
a silver coin, 2 copper coins, a brass coin, 4 gilt brooches, 2 silver
brooches, 3 gold brooches, 5 collars, a waistcoat, a pair of boots, 2
cloaks, and a shawl.

Feb. 21. From C. C. 14s., and 5l. with these words: "Your Heavenly
Father knoweth that ye have need of these things," and Philip iv. 19.
How true! My Heavenly Father knew that we had need of this, and
therefore put it into the heart of this donor to give this 5l. for in
two days we shall again require many pounds more than I
