Review: New York Clipper, 15 January 1870, 326, col. 4.

“Mrs. Paul, although laboring under a cold on the 8^th instant, did remarkably well, and her several sketches and songs and Woman’s Rights Lecture were enthusiastically encored. This lady is a most versatile artist. Mr. Paul also contributed to the amusement of the evening.”
