Review: New York Clipper, 18 June 1864, 78.
“Miss Sallie Holman, the great feature of the troupe, continues to warble forth dulcet notes, to the infinite delight of all who attend.  She possesses a voice of remarkable volume and compass, and knows exactly how to use it.  The opera of ‘Sonnambula’ was given last week with Miss Sallie as Anima, and she performed the part with much satisfaction.”
