Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, June 19, 1883, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Tuesday, June 19, 1883 I painted in Umber & white another and larger head of Maurice this forenoon which is better. Marion sat to me this afternoon but I dont get on very well. Mr. Magee called. Downing telegraphed yesterday that Booth and Edwina had arrived. Sara had a letter from Janette which I answered telling her all about Maurices death. She also had a homesick letter from Lucy. She has not yet heard of poor Maurices death. This will add to her desire to come home. I wish they could come home.
