In the biography of [[Henschel]] written by his daughter Helen (1882–1973), when recalling Tchaikovsky's visit to their house in the summer of 1893, she mentioned that "I do possess a personal remembrance of Tschaikovsky—the photograph he gave to my mother, inscribed: 'A Madame L. B. Henschel, de la part de son fervent admirateur, P. Tschaikovsky'" — see Helen Henschel, ''When Soft Voices Die. A Musical Biography'' (London, 1949), p. 73.</ref><br />
