New-Haven, January 30, 1778. Last evening a number of
persons in this town, presented a very short dialogue, with
a short farce, to a very large number of spectators; who
paid the very reasonable sum of one dollar each for their
seats. . . [11 lines of complaint regarding expense] And as
the honorable Continental Congress have strongly injoined on
all the good people of the United States, to abstain from
all expensive diversions, such as theatrical entertainments,
gaming, &c. I believe no good Whig, who duly considers the
respect due to that venerable body, (were there no other
objection) can approve of this transaction. . . [21 more
lines further justifying writer's opinion]
