Henry Mordaunt Clavering to John Benn
On a particularly bad attack of indigestion. Received 2 tickets to the Phormio, which he gave to his doctor and his amanuensis. The Epilogue, a satire on the Chartists of the day, was received with much applause - will be published in The Times on the 19th. The last time he and JB saw the play was in 1779 - 2 lead characters, Dickens and Kelly, went to Oxford the following spring. Quotes a line referring to a set of gamblers known as blacklegs. Refers to Welch's List of the Scholars of Westminster School. Does JB exercise on horseback or on shanks' pony, as their schoolboy expression had it (NB very early use of this phrase)?
Clavering, Henry Mordaunt, 1766-1850
Cast in costume on stage. Appears to be chorus or minor parts. N.B. This is not the same cast as the other 1926 photograph of Rudens cast WS/PHO/4/1/54. This photograph seems to have been mis-identified.
