			 Sullivan dedicated his song, "O Fair Dove" 
			O Fond Dove!" to Rachel Scott Russell; it was published by 
			Ashdown & Parry in 1868.
  Rachel Scott Russell and Sullivan 
			had a romantic liaison during the 1860s. This song was dedicated to 
			her after her mother had unsuccessfully tried to prevent the pair 
			seeing one another. Rachel would sometimes sign her letters to 
			Sullivan "Fond Dove" or "F.D".  |
