Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, June 4, 1884, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Wednesday, June 4, 1884 Sara & Cousin Rachel cleaned my fathers room today which ends the house cleaning. The shades came from N. Y. and the man was to be here to put them up but did not come. I have been busy all day. Painted a border around the kitchen floor and set out some petunias in the flower garden. Got and iron bed stead from my house and put in my fathers room. Mary brought little Dwight over. He is eight months old now and is a very pretty lovable child. I should have been very fond of such a child had I had one.
