sovereign.--This evening I received still further 4 half-crowns, with very encouraging words and expressions of joy, that I have been led to this purpose of building another Orphan House for 700 more Orphans.--There came to hand also anonymously 3s. Ditto an old shilling, a small American coin, and two shillings. Also from a Christian servant in Clifton 2s. 6d. June. 3. From one of the Orphans in the New Orphan House 6d., and from another 6d. June 4. From another Orphan in the New Orphan House, 6d. I received also 8s. 0 1/2 d., which the Orphans in the Girls' School of the New Orphan House gave between them for the Building Fund. June 5. Through one of the boxes at the New Orphan House twopence and likewise one half-penny. These two small donations are very sweet to me.
