| Clothing Material (Lace) | £108 11s 6d | External | Mr. Hewetson in full for Gold lace | The BL MS Eg. series of surviving Covent Garden account books does not cover the 1806-07 season, hence this season's expenses are taken from BL MS 29957, which falls into the series of less reliable and apparently later account books. Here, there is a separate list of expenses at the end of the season, with its own running total. At the end of this list is a total figure of £10744 0s 1d, with a note, "Paid out of the Receipts of 1807/8". No account books for 1807-08 survive, but a comparison with the 1805-06 season - for which both types of account book exist - show that these separate expenses would in fact have been recorded in the opening pages of 1807-08's account book in the BL MS Eg. series. |
