[At Rev. Vinton’s:] “Where there was a little musical matinee in honor of Prof or Gen. Vinton’s birthday.  We spent a couple of hours there.  Not many present. . . a few professional musicians.  We had some very nice music.  Ellie sang a ‘Serenade’ by Braga, accompanied by Bergner’s cello and by Frank Vinton at the piano, with great acceptance and applause.”
