MR. H. E. HOWARD:--

DEAR SIR:--At your suggestion, for the purpose of enabling Miss

Elizabeth T. Greenfield to show to her Philadelphia friends the

popularity she has acquired in this city, I cheerfully certify as

follows:--

The concert got up for her was unsolicited on her part, and

entirely the result of admiration of her vocal powers, by a number

of our most respectable citizens, who had heard her at the

residence of Gen. Potter, with whose family she had become somewhat

familiar. The concert was attended by an audience not second in

point of numbers, to any given here before, except by Jenny Lind;

and not second to any in point of respectability and fashion. The

performance of Miss Greenfield was received with great applause,

and the expression since, among our citizens generally, is a strong

desire to hear her again.

Respectfully yours, &c.,
