Williamsburg in Virginia, Mary 3. 1736.
This being the time of our general court, the town was last
week filled with an extraordinary concourse of gentlemen and
ladies; who came hither to see our Governors sister and son,
in company with one Dr. Potter, Apothetary Gilmore, Abraham
Nicholas, a painter, and several others, but plays on the
public theatre: And in acting the Recruiting Officer, and
Busy-Body, they performed their parts with so much applause,
that they have already got about one hundred and fifty
pounds subscriptions, to encourage their entertaining the
country with the like diversions at future public meetings
of our general court and assembly.
N.B. The terms of subscriptions are, that a ticket will be
delivered for every twenty shillings subscribed.
