Dancers £3 3s Internal To Mr. Lacy Pd Mr. Michel
Employees (Other) £116 6s Internal To Wages Several notes have been written on the endpaper of the account book, including what appears to be "1745", then, beneath it but not necessarily related to it, "March 8th. 26 Days arrears due to the Performers". Milhous and Hume, in 'A Drury Lane Account Book for 1745-46', pp. 87 and 95 presume, probably correctly, that the arrears note relates to 8 March 1746. Thus the apparent "1745", if relevant at all, must refer to the old style of dates, by which each new year began on 25 March.

Unknown 2s 10d Unknown To Mrs. Rogers Pr bill Milhous and Hume, in 'A Drury Lane Account Book for 1745-46', p. 101 list Mrs Rogers as a house servant, and gloss her name, "laundress and seamstress?". On p. 102 they observe that she "probably did laundry or starching." But the basis of their suggestion is unclear. In the 1749-50 season, DL made several payments to a Mrs Rogers for wax and brick dust.
