Jervis McEntee Diary Entry, December 19, 1885, from the Jervis McEntee papers, 1850-1905, in the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution

Saturday, Dec 19, 1885 My picture brought $950 at the sale last night which was a good price as compared with other American pictures. Have painted another little sketch today, and worked a little on one of my pictures. [I am?] going home tomorrow morning and will remain over Monday to attend Mrs. Cantines wedding anniversary party. Miss Durfee called and Bowyer called with Mr. Rankins two little daughters who were to lunch with him. I wrote to Booth about the sending the two pictures and intended to put in a statement of the account between us and asked him to say "correct" and sign and return it to me if satisfactory but I find my memorandum book is up home and cannot mail the letter until I go there.
