On Friday Feb’y 1st. we all went to the 4th. private Concert at w[hi]ch Mr Vogel the Frenchman (who was at Mr Smith’s in the preceeding week) played the flute, on w[hi]ch he played a solo. As he was by his own account a poor unfortunate emigrant musician, we at the Concert raised a subscription of above £8. for him towards setting him off in London where he went the next day in the hope of getting some employ, on w’ch account I sent a letter by him to Smart the music seller & one or two other professors: but neither I, or Mess’rs Feray or Lelanne (who had interested themselves a good deal on his behalf) ever heard anything more from him after he had got the cash. |
