Academy in Second-Street, February 2, 1767. To the public.
Mr. Garner having made an application to Mr. Douglass, for
his assistance in relieving the distresses of many indigent
persons, he became sensibly affected; but having nothing in
his power at this critical juncture to contribute to their
immediate relief, yet to evince his future intent of
embracing the earliest opportunity, and for the present, the
deepest concern, that he cannot immediately exert his
desired benevolence, has been so humane as to the prevail
with Mr. Wools, Miss Wainwright, Miss Hallam and others, to
attend at the assembly room in Lodge-alley, on Thursday the
5th instant, where will be a concert of vocal and instrument
music; the vocal parts by Mr. Wools, Miss Wainwright, and
Miss Hallam. The greatest care shall be taken to render the
entertainment pleasing and satisfactory---As the money
arising from this charity is designed for the relief of the
distressed poor only, the amount of the sale of the tickets
will be put into the hands of Messrs. Plunket Freeson and
Andrew Bankson, who, in conjunction with the overseers of
the poor, are to bestow it on objects the most worthy of
commiseration.
Tickets at five shillings each to be had at the above
academy, at the bar of the London coffee-house, at Mr.
Francis's in Water-Street, Mr. Biddle's at the Indian King,
Mr. Little's at the Indian Queen, Mr. Hawkins's in Walnut-
Street, and at Mr. Byrne's in Second-Street.
