Oct. 2, Saturday. As today more money was needed, and nothing had come
in, one of the labourers supplied the present need till Monday morning,
which took 3l.--Evening. This afternoon, when there was nothing at
all in my hands for the work, I received from a little boy 1s. This
evening a box arrived from Norwich, filled by the contributions of many
believers. It contained in money 1l. 10s., and the following articles: 6
brass and copper coins, a gold pin, 5 gold brooches, 3 pairs of
ear-rings, 3 pairs of silver clasps, a gold clasp, a gold locket, 2
rings, a pair of silver studs, a broken silver tooth-pick, 4 gilt
bracelets, a silver mounted eye-glass, 5 braid watch-guards, a silver
washed watch-guard, 4 waist buckles, a pair of gilt ear-rings, 3
mourning necklaces and a pair of ear-rings, a mourning ring set with
pearls, 2 brass brooches, a mother-o'-pearl cross and clasps, a silver
fruit knife, a pair of coral bracelets, 2 bead necklaces, a snuff-box, 2
little baskets, 12 worked mats, 24 ladies' bags of various kinds, 4
cephalines, 13 book-marks, 8 purses, 5 shells, 45 pin-cushions of
various kinds, 17 needle cases, 9 pairs of babies' shoes, 2 babies'
hoods, 3 neck ties, 2 knitted cloths, 2 netted mats, 4 pairs of watch
pockets, 3 pairs of cogs, 3 little scarfs, 2 collars, a pair of socks, a
nightcap, some knitted fringe, some work and lace, 2 silk winders, 3
waistbands, 5 handkerchiefs, 1/4 lb. of tea, 2 pen-wipers, some little
playthings, 2 combs, some slate pencils, 3 chimney ornaments, 4
paintings, 3 books, 16 pamphlets, a fan, a little box, 13 chemises, 2
shirts, a frock and cape, a shawl border, 3 bodkin cases, 2 1/2 yards of
print, a gown, and a few other little things.--Great indeed was my
joy in receiving this box, for it was a fresh proof to me, in this our
present great poverty, that the Lord hears our prayers and is mindful of
us.
Oct. 3. Lord's day. Today I received from C. C. 10s. 10d., from a
sister 3l., being the produce of a piece of work done for the Orphans,
and anonymously 2s. 6d. By these donations we are supplied till Tuesday
evening.
Oct. 4. From a Christian gentleman I received today 1l.; from a brother,
as the first fruits of his salary, 2l., of which 1l. is for the Orphans,
and 1l. for home and foreign labourers; from another brother 2s. 6d.;
from a sister 5s.
Oct. 5. By sale of articles 1l. 10s. 4 1/2 d. This evening I had only
means enough to give to the matrons supplies for one or two days. When I
came home from our prayer meeting I found unexpectedly another demand
made upon me for 5l., in connexion with the house-keeping expenses,
towards which I had nothing, but which it was desirable to meet as soon
as possible.
Oct. 6. This morning I received the following letter from Kennington,
containing a post-office order for 5l.
