To the Public. The repeated encouragement, countenance and
protection the American Theatre has met with here, from an
audience one of the most respectable on the continent, is
universally known, and has deeply imprinted the sentiments
of gratitude in the breasts of the American Company of
Comedians-- in consequence of which, Mr. Douglass, Manager
of that company, sent me here from New-York, to build an
elegant theatre, fit for the accommodation of so numerous
and polite an audience as formerly honoured this stage with
their patronage.
. . . [Several paragraphs explaining why a theatre will not
be built-- Apparently because of the unrest and struggles
with Britain]
