The Company of Comedians having been at a greater expence
than they at first expected in erecting a theatre in the
city of Williamsburg, and having an immediate occasion for
the money expended in that particular, in order to procure
proper scenes and dresses, humbly hope that those gentlemen
who are lovers of theatrical performances, will be kind
enough to assist them, by way of subscription, for the
payment of the house and lots, each subscriber to have a
property therein, in proportion to the sum subscribed.  As
the money is immediately wanted, we hope the gentlemen will
be kind enough to pay it as they subscribe, into the hands
of Messrs. Mitchelson and Hyndman, who have obliged us so
far as to receive the same, and to whom deeds will be
delivered, on the subscription being compleated, for the
purpose above mentioned.  Which shall be gratefully
acknowledged, by their most obliged humble servants,
[signed] Charles Somerset Woodham, Walter Murray, Thomas
Kean.
