Review: New York Sun, 24 September 1870, 2.

“Miss Nilsson’s third concert was given last evening. There is little to add to what we have already said at length. There was the same great attendance, the same splendid singing on the part of Miss Nilsson, the same appreciation and enthusiasm on that of the audience. This afternoon, a matinee is given.” [Clearly refers to this concert that did not take place; conflicts with the cancellation notice that appeared on p. 1]
