From Nov. 20th to 24th we stayed at Keswick. Whilst there I received
10s., 2s., and 1s. 6d. for the Orphans. This 13s. 6d. was at once sent
off to Bristol, by an order, as we were still very poor, with regard to
means for housekeeping expenses for the Orphan-Houses. But
notwithstanding all this great poverty in Bristol, which required that
we should day by day wait upon God, for our daily supplies, I did not
feel at all led to return home, but had an especial drawing to go to
Sunderland to labour there for a little while among the brethren
assembling at "Bethesda Free Chapel." We therefore left Keswick on Nov.

were at Sunderland also, the Orphan-Fund was very low, but God helped
