Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, Wednesday, May 23, 1877, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution
Sent Lauras picture last week and the frame for her mother. Gertrude and I went up home on Saturday, she for the summer. I returned Monday and attended the Council meeting for the last time unless called for some special purpose. My father started on Monday on a visit to his brothers to be gone a couple of weeks at least. I tried to paint a small picture yesterday but I need now to go somewhere to sketch for a while but the trouble is to know where to go and then to find a companion. I am afraid as I grow older my enthusiasms vanish.
