myself that after assisting him to his room I also retired.

The next morning Annie came up to see him while I was helping him to his breakfast, he had been refreshed with sleep and she thought he looked better and told him so, he looked up so grateful and pleased when she said it, and inquired how long she thought it would be before he was well, she replied, "in a few days probably" and made some suggestion to him about eating and taking proper care of himself to which he listened most attentively, and earnestly. He said he had not slept well during the night was troubled with bad dreams, and had a pain and stiffness in his limbs. However he arose and with my assistance went down to Mother's room. He seemed to think himself better and tried to walk as much as he could, and strange indeed with Mother's assistance went down two flights of stairs to the basement, stopping to rest at the parlors each time as he passed them. "Oh Mother," he said as he sat on the sofa, "how nice it is here. I wish I could stay here and sleep here to-night." but when Mother told him how inconvenient it would be he said no more. He was restless and fancied that in a different room he would feel better, but he was glad to get back to Mother's room and rest. I occupied the morning in writing to Kate Hudson a duty which I had neglected on his account for several days, I now felt that I could put off no longer but oh how I dearly now regret that I permitted anything to keep me from him a moment, there were other tings too that I was obliged to attend to, and though I was in his room frequently I did not stop any longer than was

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.
