Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, November 4, 1962

Cold – cloudy – the sun breaking through later.

A.M. – to Drs. Arbesman & Gurney – at the latter place the office was jammed – fortunately, Dr. G’s receptionist was just passing through, and ushered me at once into Dr. Gurney’s office, so I did not have to wait – As usual the Dr. was more interested chatting than in discussing my ailment, (altho that was taken care of too). A fine gentleman (in the true sense of the word) and a pleasure to talk to.

Home by 11:00 – To studio until lunch –

P.M. – working on the “Moonrise in the Woods”. So many changes have been made that I decided to change the date from 1917-60 to 1947-1962 –
When I brought it in the house, Bertha thought it was almost solved but questioned the over hanging bough and grape-vines as being too insistent – and so it seemed to me –

Bed time music – First four movements of Dvorak’s Dumky Trio.
