Jervis McEntee Diaries

Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, Monday, October 5, 1883, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Mon. Oct. 5- Have wiped off and varnished all my sketches with retouching varnish and they look more brilliant. I have forty five that I have made this season and I feel rich in them and I mean to have more. Received a letter from Mr. Kurtz in charge of the American Art Union now at the Southern Exposition in Louisville informing me that he has sold my “Indian Summer” for $600 (?) according to my instructions. This adds to my comfortable feeling.
