Review: New-York Times, 11 October 1871, 4.

"The second of the Dolby Ballad Concerts was given last night at Steinway Hall. It was brilliantly and numerously attended, and quite warranted our anticipations of substantial success. Already great favorites with the public, the artists were greeted with the utmost cordiality, and the singing was in nowise inferior to that of the opening night.
