An 1760 Dublin to London dispatches naval news and theatre notices
A fragmentary 1760 letter from Cork reports ships like the Winthherster and Somerset sailing with convoys to England, with losses and recoveries in storm and engagement. The text also lists theatre bills, acting troupes, and notices for subscriptions to performances at the Theatre Royal in London, including names of cast and benefits for performers.
