Shaw #10; Mantuamaker #13 5s. 4d.; Foulis for Music Copying #2 8s.; Land Tax 1 Yr. #79 12s. 6d.; Billstickers #3 6s.; Booth, tailor, #14 13s. 1d. "Mrs Jordan has a voice, the tones of which are infinitely more musical and sweet than those of any professional singer we have. There is also an interest about her singing, arising not from what may be called musical feeling, but the impression of the subject. Thus, though sometimes a little untrue, we love her songs, and forbear to weigh them in the diatonic or chromatic scales" (Oracle, 3 Oct.). Receipts: #450 3s. (393.2; 56.3; 0.18)
