the doctor seems scarcely to know what to do.
He suffers much from weakness and exhaustion but is
very patient. we had prayer meeting at our house
this evening.
Saturday. Raining. Cornelius was able to swallow something this
morning for the the first time since Thursday evening.

Sunday. Very fine day. Attended our church twice during the day
Father preached all day from
Joseph Wilde accompanied me home in the morning and
Henry Hudson in the afternoon. H- called in this evening
and accompanied me to Mr Beecher's church. After
returning he came in and remained during prayers.
I spoke to him again about religion but I fear for him.

Uncle came over from New York with father to see him
and took tea with us. One or two gentlemen called in
to see Father in the evning.

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.
