Review: New York Clipper, 11 October 1873, 222.

“…On this occasion Miss McDonald made her American debut and sang Scotch songs, which met a fair degree of favor. She was attired in male Scotch attire, is a blonde, and has a sweet, musical voice. In response to an encore, she danced a strathspey…The attendance was excellent during the week.”
