JENNY LIND AT LOUISVILLE Courier of
the 7th says:
"The apartments prepared for Miss Lind in
the mansion of Mr.. Shreve are fitted up in
a truly elegant and sumptuous style. Too much
praise cannot be awarded to Mrs Kean, the ex-
cellent lady of the proprietor of the Louisville
HOTEL for the exquisite taste and skill displayed
by her in the arrangement of these rooms. We

lightfully and agreeably situated since she
reached this country, than she now is. In Mr..
Shreve's mansion she is surrounded with all the
elegancies and Injuries and conveniences that
can possibly add to her comfort and pleasure"
