Event Comment: Paid Quin on account #100. Gilbert Walmesley to Garrick, 3 Nov,: I see by the prints you are engaged with Mr Rich. I hope you will take care not to hurt your health by playing more than you can well bear....But I must not forget to tell you what Lord Chesterfield says of you. He says you are not only the best tragedian now in the world, but the best, he believes, that ever was in the world; but he does not like your comedy, and particularly objects to your playing Bayes, which he says is a serious solemn character and that you mistake it. He spoke much in praise of Barry's handsome figure, but made a joke of his rivaling or hurting you.-Boaden, Private Correspondence of Garrick, I, 44. Receipts: #170 9s
