Morning Advertiser (April 15, 1828): 2.
Mademoiselle Sontag appeared, for the first time in this country, at a party at Prince Esterhazy’s, the evening previous to the Duke of Devonshire’s party. Her engagement at the Italian Opera-House prevents her from taking any other public engagement, with a reservation only of six nights—three of them she is to have Concerts, under the direction of Sir George Smart—the other three nights she sings for Moschelles, Beriot, and Withect [sic], at their Concerts.

MADEMOISELLE SONTAG.
MR. EDITOR—It has by mistake been stated, that Mademoiselle SONTAG is to perform in three Benefit Concerts, and that one of them is for a Mr. WITHCOT. As I am so situated as to know the whole of Mademoiselle SONTAG’S professional engagements, I am enabled to say that she knows no person of the name of WITHCOT, and that the only Concerts in which she has engaged to sing, are, that of Mr. MOSCHELES, my own, and that of MONS. DE BERIOT. By inserting this correction.
You will oblige, Sir, your very obedient Servant.
