Tuesday, Sept 7, 1886 Lucy and Jamie went to N. Y. this morning and Andrews has probably gone this afternoon as he was expecting a telegram and has not come home. I went over to my studio and worked most of the day on my picture. It has seemed most lonesome and forlorn here. A hot dry wind has been blowing and that to me is the most forlorn of all weather. I look about and see so much to discourage me here that I long to be released from all these almost hopeless cares. I have a hope which is not an expectation that Coykendall may make me an offer for the place. That would give me courage and I do not see what else can for I begin to see that my pictures do not sell as they used to.
