It would seem that Morphy had almost no time with
Lowenthal on the game collection the latter was compiling. He probably gave
the same selection that he had chosen with Preti of Paris. For in the short
time before April 20 at Wellington and his free(?) days thereafter, Morphy is
known to have played a match of nine games with T. H. Worrall at Knight odds,
winning seven and losing two; two games with Mrs. Worrall at Queen's Rook; six
games with G. Maude, two at odds of Pawn and two moves, and four at Knight
odds; and two games with Pindar at Knight odds. Few of these games were ever
reported and none at the time. Morphy played two more games with Lowenthal, as
later disclosed by Jean Dufresne in 1862 in his Der Scachfreund. There
now remained one more extraordinary performance expected of Morphy, as was
announced by the Era of April 24. [referring to the upcoming
simul against Löwenthal, Rivière, Boden, Barnes and Bird]
