Morning Chronicle, 7 June: Foote caught cold on Wednesday last...Unwilling to disappoint the public [last night] he determined to play his part in The Devil upon Two Sticks, but, after he had ended the second act, was so much worse that he was obliged to retire...An apology was made to the audience, and Palmer undertook to read the remainder of Foote's part
