Philip Perceval in Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London - between April, 1706 and February, 1707

from Report of the Manuscripts of the Earl of Egmont, page 215:

Letter from Philip Perceval to Sir John Perceval, 1st February 1707

The opera of Camilla has been one of the chief diversions of the town this long time, and business is forgot. Next week we expect a new one, and soon after another. One goes by Mr. Addison’s name ; I think they call it Fair Rosamond, the other is Mr. Clayton’s undertaking. Great things are expected of them both.
