Review: New York Herald, 16 February 1865, 4.
“The reputation which those admirable artists Mlle. Helene de Katow and Mr. Wehli acquired at their first concert was fully sustained on their second appearance last night. Mlle. de Katow exhibited to a greater extent than before her entire command of the violoncello in the fantasie from Martha and the duo Polonaise Brilliante of Chopin. Mr. Wehli selected a piece by Mendelssohn which fully illustrated his capacity to interpret the highest classic music. His own composition on Trovatore was exquisitely rendered.”

Review: New York Post, 16 February 1865.
The concert “introduced Mr. Wehli, the pianist, as a player of Mendelssohn, and receiving, to his surprise, an encore therefor; Miss Huntley and Miss de Katov [sic] gave entire satisfaction.”
