On pg. 3 under "Boston Theatre" is a notice for a performance of "Richard The Third: Or the Battle Of Bosworth Field" by Shakespeare, with Mr. Poe in the role of "Tressel".

Also a notice for a "Pantomimic Ballet called "Patie & Peggy", with Mr. Poe as "Patie". This was the father of Edgar Allan Poe.

News of the day with several other interesting advertisements.

Has a small hole in the background of the first notice, trimmed close at the top causing minor unrelated loss, large area of dampstaining, some in these notices.
