Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, Tuesday, January 5, 1875, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Jan. 5- Went up to Eastman Johnson’s this morning, which was very cold, and staid until 1 o’clock. He showed me his summer’s work but he don’t seem to have done a great deal more than I have. I was encouraged to find he makes mistakes as well as I do. He gets some of his heads too big and some too small for the bodies. NOTE: this entry was typed between Feb. 3 and Feb. 7—images of diary unavailable at time of this transcription
