[<i>An Epistle from Mr Theophilus Cibber</i>, to $David Garrick, Esq.= <i>London</i>: 1755, dated Nov. 20, 1755: When $Th. Cibber= returned from <i>Guilford</i> last July, he found a discharge from <i>Covent Garden</i> (p.5) He got a license from the $Duke of Grafton= to open <i>Little Haymarket</i> (p. 6). He began and acted ten nights in three weeks, with some success, but when <i>Drury Lane</i> opened, Th. Cibber was ordered to stop (p. 7). He then petitioned the Duke of Grafton to have The <i>Haymarket</i> for two or three times weekly for the rest of the season. He hoped that the Little Haymarket might be a nursery for young performers, as well as for new pieces (p. 24). See dl 24 Nov.]
