Clothing Material (Linen) £99 External Mr. McKnight / Linnen Draper / 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".
