Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, April 12, 1877, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Sara came on Monday and we are going home with her tomorrow. Miss Noxon dined with us last evening. Mary was here and went home today. Wrote a note yesterday to Frank Waller who had invited me to a Reception of the Art Students League in which I told him frankly that I would oppose the return of any member of the League to the schools of the Academy who signed the circular of July 1875. This has been a week of high winds and clouds of dust. Mrs. Taylor, Sade and Mary lunched with us today. Received a note today from Joe Tubby asking me to loan him some money but not specifying any amount. I answered him telling him it was impossible and expressing as well as I could my sympathy with him. The truth is I fear that he is inefficient and hopelessly involved in debt. I begin to see how if I were rich I should have opportunities of getting rid of some money, but I would be glad to give a lift where I could.
