July 4. Though this day week I had all the means requisite for advancing
the house-keeping expenses for this week, yet, after having done so,
there remained only a few shillings. I had therefore again to seek help
from God respecting the means requisite for this evening, besides means
for other expenses, which in the course of the week might come upon me,
as the regular house-keeping expenses are not one half of the whole of
the expenses for the Orphans. Now, during this week also, I have been
helped by the Lord in the following manner:--

On June 28th I received from Uppingham 10s., and 10s., and 1s. Also by
sale of Reports came in 6s.--On June 30th was sent from Tetbury 10s.
-- On July 1st a brother in the Lord gave me 10l.--On July 2nd from
A. S. A. 1l., and from a sister 5s. Also anonymously 4s., ditto 10s.,
ditto 1s. 6d.--On July 3rd from a brother 1l.---July 4th. By sale of
articles 2l. 3s. 6 1/2 d., and by knitting and needlework 6l. 13s. 10d.
-- Thus I was again able to advance this evening the means for the
house-keeping expenses of the coming week, and have a few shillings

Accordingly, two ladies left today, anonymously, at the Infant
Orphan-House, 2 old foreign gold watches, an old silver watch, a small
gold chain, 6 gold mourning rings, a pair of gold earrings, and 2
necklaces. There was also given today 10s., and 2s. 2 1/2 d. came in by
sale of Reports.

July 7. From Edmonton 1l. From a Christian lettercarrier 10s., from a
sister 2s. 6d., and from M. R. 5l.

July 8. Through sister C. from a friend 2s., from M. 2s., from D. 1s.,
and from sister F. 1s. 1d.

July 9. From A. S. A. 10s. Also a brother has brought me this evening
5l.

July 10. From Street 2s., through Salem boxes 3d., and by knitting 10s.
9d.

July 11. By sale of trinkets, &c. 14l. 13s. 7d. From Gloucester 1l.,
from Tenby 1s. 6d., anonymously 5s., and from one of the labourers in
the work 3s.--Thus I had again this evening enough to meet the
ordinary housekeeping expenses for the coming week, but I am now looking
out for fresh supplies to meet the expenses connected with ordering a
fresh quantity of oatmeal from Scotland, &c.
