Review: New York Herald, 13 December 1871, 9.

“Much of the pleasure of Monday evening was due to the organist of the church, Mr. Danforth, under whose direction a select orchestra discoursed favorite music, and thus afforded the thousands who attended during the evening the inspiring accompaniment of a promenade.”
