By sale of Reports 5s.--From an Orphan box at Plymouth 3s., together
with 8s. as a donation added, and 9s. for Reports. Still further help:
This afternoon a lady of Clifton called at my house, and brought a check
for 200l., which a gentlemen, whose name even I had never heard of, had
sent her for the benefit of tine Orphans. We are not now in actual need,
yet as 62l. lies already been paid out of what I have received since the
9th, and as other heavy payments are before me, in a few days, it is
particularly kind of the Lord, to send this donation from a perfect
stranger.

Nov. 13. Today was paid to me the legacy for the Orphans, to which
reference has been made. I had no doubt it would come in in good time.
Thus it is. The expenses are heavy, week after week. The day after
tomorrow, I shall have again to pay out above 100l. for the Orphans.

On Dec. 20th, in the evening, I had only 16l. 9s. left. Think of this,
dear Reader. So little, for so large an Establishment! From Dec. 20th to
the evening of Dec. 26th, there came in only about 18l.; and as I had
paid out above 13l., I could only advance 15l. for house-keeping on Dec.
27th, instead of the usual 30l., and had then about 5l. left for petty
expenses. I knew that on the 31st I should have to advance again at
least 20l. for house-keeping. Now see how the Lord was pleased to send
in the means from the morning of Dec. 27th to Dec. 31st. Dec. 27. From
Alcombe, near Minehead, 10s.--From a poor widow in Bristol, 5s.--
Anonymously 1l. Ditto a sovereign, with these words: "An Orphan's mite
for the Orphan House."--From Clifton, 1s., and 1s. besides.--Dec.
28. From Newport, in Monmouthshire, 10s. and 10s.--From Birmingham,
2l. 10s. with the same for my own personal expenses.--From Boscrea
7d. from three children.--From Lenwade, 10s.--Dec. 29. From B. B.
at Leamington 5l.--Anonymously, from London, 2s. 5d.--From three

30. By sale of Reports 2s. 6d.--From Clifton 5l.--From two
Christian ladies in Buckinghamshire 20l.-- From some pupils on
