[not performed, according to <i>Public Advertiser</i>, 8 Nov., because of illness of two singers, one being $Sga Sestini=. A Letter by $William Lee= in The <i>Public Advertiser</i> (7 Nov.) notes that beginning in 1772 he had served refreshments in a room which served also as a passage to the boxes; alterations made to enclose the passage were made in 1773; Lee was charged #60 a year for the room (with the fire and light at his own expense). Then $Elizabeth Smith=, who had had charge of concessions died. In 1774 Lee was charged #160 plus #80 for coals and light. Hence Lee lost #130 and was saved only by a benefit by the graciousness of the Nobility and Gentry.]
