Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, July 19, 1883, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Thursday, July 19, 1883 Today has been like yesterday only cooler so that this evening it was uncomfortably cool sitting out on the porch. I had a letter from Whittredge written Tuesday. He thought he would not be able to get away before next Monday. A postal card from Mrs. Sawyer saying she and Mr. Sawyer would come on Friday by the New England road to Newburgh and by W. S. road to Kingston. I spent a part of the forenoon in packing and arranging my painting materials for my trip. This afternoon Downing and I went out in Grant Van Deusens canoe as far as Port Ewen. He seemed very cheerful, but has been a little depressed this evening. I have written to Booth today but will not send the letter until Saturday.
