Summary
Concerning a performance in the first week of May to benefit a Fund "...supported by the Actors and Actresses of Covent Garden Theatre, for the maintenance of their aged and infirm Brethren, and their Widows and Children, having lately been pressed by an unusual number of Claiments, whose wants are beyond the ability of the said Fund to relieve, as could be wished;" asking for his sanction of the event to offer a subscription to those of the nobility who may wish to support the Fund but who cannot attend the performance.
