The privy council writes to the Middlesex justices concerning the new theatre. Well pleased in former times by the services of Alleyn and his company, the queen desires that Alleyn revive the same. The council acknowledges Alleyn's investment in the property, the good workmanship of the new building, and the convenience of the theatre to the parishioners. Taking into account, moreover, the decay of the company's former playhouse (the Rose), the justices are ordered to tolerate the new theatre, and to allow Alleyn to proceed, 'the rather because another house [the Curtain] is pulled down instead of it.'
