by sale
of stockings 6s. 8d. Also from Thornbury 2s. 6d. Thus we have enough for
today, and something left.

March 24, Monday. Yesterday and today came in only 7s. 6d. altogether.
We have enough for today, and 6s. 6d. left, as the demands were only 2l.
10s.

March 25. When there was again only 6s. 6d. left, 4s. 6d. came in
yesterday evening. There was also 5l. put into one of the boxes at my
house. This morning I received from a brother from the neighbourhood of
Birmingham 2l., and 10s. came in by another donation. Thus I had more
than sufficient for the need of today, which is 4l. 15s. There came in
still further from Bridgenorth 10s., and from a sister in Bristol 2s.
2d.

March 26. Only 3s. 2 1/2 d. came in today, by the boxes in my house.

March 27. Yesterday morning I sent off for housekeeping all the money I
had left. It was enough for yesterday, but only enough. Only 1l came in
yesterday, and this morning 4d. This 1l. 0s. 4d. was all I had to send
to the Orphan-Houses. There came in 5s, 4d. besides, and thus we were
helped through this day also.

March 28. Nothing has come in. While the Orphan Boy was waiting for the
bag to be made up, 1l. 5s. 1d. came in for a few trinkets, which I had
sent out to be disposed of. This was all I could send.

March 29. By the 1l. 5s. 1d. we were helped through yesterday. But there
was now again not only nothing at all in hand, but we required the more,
as the last two days there had been so little laid out for housekeeping,
and also because today was Saturday. However, as the Lord never once has
forsaken me in the work during the last eleven years, so it has been at
this time also. About five o'clock yesterday afternoon a note was
given to me in which was enclosed 5l., which a physician of this city
kindly sent. In the evening I received 10s., being the profit from the
sale of ladies' bags, and this morning came in still further by the
sale of articles 9s. 6d., and by the sale of stockings 13s. There were
also last evening, anonymously left at my house, a gold seal, a brass
seal, and a pair of gilt ear-rings. There came in still further 10s.,
and 10s.

March 31. There came in yesterday and today anonymously from Hayes-Town,
near Uxbridge, 1l., and 2l. 10s. besides.

April 1. On account of the expenses of Saturday having been great, and
of yesterday likewise, there remained again but a few shillings. Our
gracious Lord, however, who day after day looks on our need, yea, so
