Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, October 26, 1883, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Friday, Oct 26, 1883 The carpenters came again today but it has been rainy a part of the time. I set them to making boxes for Booths things which I wrote him this evening I would send down on Wednesday by "City of Springfield". I have worked all day in my studio painting a part of the time on the figure and getting in the flowers, the old house and the trees. The expression baffles me so far but with the study before me I must succeed.
