Review: New York Herald, 09 October 1871, 4.

“At the Vespers in the afternoon Miss Howson sang the ‘Salve Regina’ with great effect, her exquisite voice pouring forth the beautiful hymn in a flood of melody. Signor Bianchi sang Perragi’s ‘Tantum Ergo’ with great effect. Mr. Danforth deserves great praise for the efficiency of this choir.”
