Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, December 11, 1885, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution
Friday, Dec 11, 1885 Went down to the foot of Hamsin St directly after breakfast to find out the name of the Capt of the City of Kingston to whom I want to address a note tomorrow putting Katy Burns in his care. A telegram came from Sara this afternoon saying she had received my letter and would meet Katy and this evening I had a letter from her in which she says my father stays in bed most of the time and still complains of dizziness when he sits up. I feel troubled about him as I always do when he is not in his usual health. I began a picture 15x18 of a scene on the brook at Kellys Corners with variations and have worked on it all day. I think it promises well. I want to have some small pictures ready to send to the various exhibitions. J. G. Brown called and told me Church was at work in his studio. I was surprised as I supposed he was in Mexico. Our French class was this evening.
