Tuesday, Jan 26, 1886 Went to the dentists this morning but he did not think it advisable to fill my tooth for another week. Came to my room and painted a small winter picture of a scene from the car window near Haverstraw but I was nervous and unquiet and did not succeed very well. Fuller sent his "Yellow Autumn Woods["] for me to look over according to agreement. This turns up annually. He came in later and we talked about it. I told him frankly I did not see any thing I could do to improve it and he was satisfied and said it always looked beautifully in my studio. I told him it was because it was in a proper light which he recognised. I would not hesitate to do any thing I thought would improve it and I think he knows that. I wrote a note to E. S. Auchincloss by his request to let him know my picture was back from Brooklyn but I doubt whether he will come. He is a timid man and always seems on the alert thinking to be taken advantage of. Recd a letter from Church saying they would not be down today as they expected to. I was to call on Mrs. Church this evening. Called on Mrs. Anderson and Miss Nesmith this evening. Mrs. Heath was there and later Mr & Mrs. Vandervort came in and Mr. Anderson.
