Tuesday.. Very pleasant in this morning but windy in the afternoon
spent the morning in sewing and also lined my summer hat
with pink illusion so as to prevent its looking so bridish as
[Harriet] says. I won't try to rival her[underlined] in that point anyway
Immediately after dinner [Harriet] and I dressed and set out
to make calls. We called first at Mr. Post's, and then made
a bridal call on [Mrs A. [H?] Griswold] [late?] [Miss Mary Mucker or Meeker?]
I have never seen his before and think hes decided by the
most beautiful girl I have yet seen in Williamsburgh.
She was about calling on [illegible] [McCruthers] and as I had the
same intention we concluded to go together while [Harriet]
called at [Mr Shar's]. We found [Annie] at home and made
a very pleasant call. She has been spending this winter
from home and this is the first time I have seen her

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.
