[In mainpiece the playbill assigns Witwou'd to Dodd, but "In Dodd's absence, Suett was Witwou'd' (World, 13 Nov.). As afterpiece the playbill announces the 9th night of The Doctor and the Apothecary, but it was not acted, presumably because of Dodd's absence. Both Kemble Mem. and the Account-Book list the substitute play. See 15 Nov.] Receipts: #81 17s. 6d. (65.7.0; 16.4.0; 0.6.6)
