DDaily Advertiser, 22 Feb.: Since my distant Relation Tomo Chachi was pleas'd, through your Means, to give his Reason for the Town's Condemnation of the Two first licensed Dramatick Performances since the new Act,-I desire to have his Opinion concerning the Fate of the Third-call'd Art and Nature:-I presume he cannot assign for Cause what he did before, for that this Piece did not receive the Indulgence of being heard at all....Adomo Tomo
