Besides the above Sums, there has been L 111 5 6, (Note: 111 pounds, 5 shillings and 6 pence) contributed by several charitable Women in this City, towards paying for Medicines; and L 13 9 1, collected from the Charity Boxes, kept by the Chief Justice, and several Magistrates of this City, and by the Managers of the Hospital. And as the Benefits arising from this Institution become daily more extensive, there is just Ground to hope, that the same good Disposition which hath induced so many lately to promote it, will still prevail, and of Course, that the Number of Contributors will soon be considerably increased. The Foundation of the East Wing of the Building is laid, and considerable Provision made for carrying on the Work with as much Expedition as possible; and as some charitable Persons may incline to contribute to the said Building, either in Money or Materials; whatever may be thus given, will be thankfully received by either of the Managers, or by Samuel Rhoads, who has the Oversight of the Building.
