Wardrobe (Other) £1 16s 6d Departmental Mrs. S. White a bill of Incidents Distinguishing the Whites and what they were paid for is not always straightforward: Susannah White made several large loans to Rich over the years, but also worked for CG's wardrobe, and various of her family members worked for the theatre in various capacities. For more on Susannah White, see Terry Jenkins, John Rich: The Man Who Built Covent Garden Theatre (2016), pp. 209, 240-41, 251; and for Catherine White, see BD vol. 16, p. 34. It seems likeliest that this payment was for a wardrobe-related bill.
