Apropos, of the poor, on Monday evening the bells rang
I went to the door where I found a boy of about 16
who looked almost frozen. He said he was Irish, had
arrived in this country two or three days since, was an
entire stranger without money and unable to find
employment. I pitied him from my heart and took
him down stairs to Father. He was comfortably warm
and fed, and then Father found him a night's logding
with a nice Irish family in another street, and on
the next day found him a place where he could have
regular and steady employment, and good wages.
The poor boy was very grateful, and thinks that a
special providence must have sent him to our house.
Dear Father, he is daily employed in such acts of kind-
ness, but we know of but few of them unless accident
brings them to our notice.

Thursday. Pleasant. Commenced piecing a bed-quilt for Harris.
George Hudson spent this afternoon very pleasantly with
us. Mrs. I. Hudson, and the Misses Griffin called us
just before he came. I enjoy George's company very
much--he is very interesting, yet I cannot say that I like

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.
