It is with a degree of inexpressible chagrin that the
managers of the Theatre are under the necessity of deferring
the representation of Douglass. They flatter themselves
that the publick will be readily induced to admit of the
present disappointment when they are assured that the
indisposition of a principal acting member, and the
unexpected call on another in the line of professional duty,
have conspired to form insurmountable obstacles. The period
was infinitely too short to admit of appointing other
gentlemen to appear in two characters of importance.
