25 March 1742 @ Covent Garden

Event Comment: Benefit the Widow Milward and her 4 children. N.B. Mrs Milward greatly acknowledges the Favour of the Town to her on her former Benefit; and as a considerable number of persons, who had taken tickets for that night, could not find room, she has made application to Mr Rich who has generously given her at his theatre, a Day which he had reserved to himself; where tickets given out for her former benefit will be taken. The consideration of 4 fatherless children is the only apology she can plead for intreating this further indulgence from the public. Note If any persons are dispos'd to send for tickets on this occasion, they maY be had at Mrs Milward's, No. 15 in Craven Buildings, Drury Lane. Tickets to be had and places to be taken at the stage door in Bow st
