(Account Book).@ [The #136 18s. represents the total value of the house, from two sources: money at the door and tickets given to the author to dispose of. Since the #10 14s. value of the tickets is not added into the Account Book as a receipt for the company, it is presumed that the author received this as a bonus in addition to the #38 14s. which was taken in over and above the house charges, etc.
