To the Public, Gentlemen and Ladies, I am very sorry that a long, sharp, and severe fit of Illness prevents me the satisfaction of making my personal application to my friends as usual, against my Benefit; but finding myself every day rather worse than better, I hope you will be so kind as to take this notice, that the
Stratagem, will be performed on Saturday the 21st of April; the part of
Archer by
Mr Garrick, for the benefit of
Mr and Mrs Mills; with a Farce and all other usual Entertainments. From your most oblig'd Servant,
William Mills. Mr Mills hopes his friends who intend to honour him with their company, will be so kind as to send to him for Places, Tickets, &c., or call upon him at Mr

Hobson's at the stage door (
General Advertiser). Receipts: #180 (
