Mainpiece: By Particular Desire. Miss Talbot to Miss Carter (28 Nov.): My other amusement was going to see Much Ado about Nothing, which has always been one of my favourite comedies, as surely a most excellent vein of pleasantry runs through the whole. It was incomparably acted, and I know not when we have spent so laughing an evening (Letters, 2 vols. (London 1808), I, 239). Receipts:#80 (Cross)
