Review: New York Herald, 09 December 1867, 5.

“At the latter concert, the artistes were De Meyer, Miss Jenny Busk, who made quite a hit in the grand air of the Queen of the Night from his ‘Zauberflöte,’ and proved herself an artiste of no ordinary powers; Carl Rosa, whose exquisite violin playing was heard to advantage in an arrangement of Scottish airs; Fortuna, who sang in English for the first time, with marked success; Mr. James Caulfield, organist, and Mr. G. W. Colby conductor.”
