Full text (72 lines) of a Plough Monday play from East Bridgford, Notts. The
characters are; Tom Fool, Recruiting Sergeant, Farmer's Man, Lady, King George
and Doctor.
A note with the copy in Nottingham Central Library reads:
"This version is almost identical with text supplied by A.S.Huskinson
& revised by E.L.Guilford 1922 (M 9913, M9909, Archives Dept)"
A transciption error - "XL" for "'ed" (abbreviation of "head")
suggests that this is copy, collated from the text and fragments
collected for E.L.Guilford in 1922. The "XL" error has been
propagated through to a typescript copy in the M.W.Barley Collection.
