Autograph letter signed Cassiarse from David Garrick, Newberry, to the Revd. Dr. Hoadly, at Old Alresford, in Hampshire [manuscript], 1746 September 14.

Will send him what intelligence he can get about Aaron Hill's performance. Glad to hear he has docked and altered Cymbeline. He has been sent a play by one Smollet, but it will not do.
