Fourth Earl of Orford in London, England - 13 April, 1782, at night
from Letter from Horace Walpole to the Rev. William Mason, 14 April 1782, page 236:
Last night before I came out of town, I was at a kind of pastoral opera written by Lady Craven, and acted prettily by her own and other children: you will scold me again for not telling you the title, but in truth I forgot to ask it. There was imagination in it, but not enough to carry off five acts.
