Announcement: New York Post, 31 December 1863, 2.
“Dempster, the popular vocalist, being about to return to his native land, has been invited by a number of our prominent citizens to give a farewell concert. . . . Dempster is widely known as a composer, even among those who have not heard him sing; and the entertainment of Monday evening will enable his friends to hear him for the last time for the present in both capacities.”
