Review: New York Clipper, 28 December 1872, 310.

“Little Patti Rosa, a young miss of some twelve or thirteen summers, sang a number of songs, which were favorably received. Her voice as yet is not fully developed, but bids fair to become a contralto of no little power. She afterwards performed a clog dance, which was marked by excellence of time, and difficulty and rapidity of execution. She made an excellent impression and cheerfully responded to a demand for its repetition…James W. McKee continued his excellent character songs, which have made him a great favorite with the audience.”
