He too seemed much affected, and perhaps on this account he shortened his stay. After he had gone I seated myself in the large rocking chair where he had been sitting a few moments before, and there sat absorbed in thought for the remainder of the afternoon. I took no notice of the flight of time -- it seemed but a moment when the shadows of evening began to close around me, and I arose and went sadly down to tea. While at the tea-table Cornelius brought in a couple of tickets for the Concert of the Musical Association, which had been politely sent us, accordingly Natty and I attended. It was very fine, but did not close til half-past-ten and I was very much fatigued. Harriet and Caroline spent the afternoon and evening in the city. They with Mr. Murphy reached home at the same time that we did.
Tuesday. Very warm and pleasant. Was quiet and thoughtful all day but quite happy in my mind. Thought much about H.-- and could not reconcile myself to the thought that he is not a Christian. He says that he has given up his religious hopes entirely, and has decided to put off this all important subject till a more convenient season. His mind has been weakened by disease temptations have surrounded him and he has yielded to the allurements of the world. But to our Mighty [God?] save, the compassionate Saviour I committed this young friend faith and hope and I trust my earnest petion will be heard & answered.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
