"Mme. Parepa Rosa writes me that she will sing for the Philharmonic—at one concert—for $750.00!!! High grade artistes—vocal—instrumental—saltatory & culinary—are apt to be capricious, but this exceeds."

“Long tabako-concilium of Philharmonic here this p.m. Agreed, inter alia, to ask Mrs. Gulager to try her voice in the Academy at 1st private rehearsal 10th inst. I hope she may sing for us, for she is a nice good woman & it would delight her.”
