ave received 150l., of which I have taken for
the current expenses for the Orphans 100l., and for the other objects
50l.--Tomorrow I shall have to pay out for the Orphans 107l. 4s. The
total amount I had in hand for them, before this donation was received,
was only 120l. How kind, therefore, of the Lord to replenish our means
again, before they were almost entirely exhausted!--I received, also,
this morning from Clifton 5l.

During the following 12 days there came in further 107l. altogether for
the support of the Orphans.
