Status: Needs Review

Tuesday. Pleasant. Sewed in the morning. Kate Hudson and
Henry with Miss G. Griffin took teawith us. George
called but pleading an engagement left just before
tea. They all left about eight o'clock, mostly on Henry's acco[rd.]
Mr and Mrs Hudson called soon after. Mr Hudson greeted
us all with a kiss. He has altered very much and wears
a beard three or four inches long. I do not think I
should have known him. Mother and Father were not
at home, they were visiting Albert and Mary Emma.
Wednesday. Pleasant but very cold. Early in the afternoon [Hattie]
and I called on Miss M. Smith and the Havers. Harriet
then left me to call on Mrs Skinner, and I crossed the
Houston street ferry and called on Mrs Evans in [Lours]
(saw H. passing as I stood in the ferry house). Staid some time
Mrs Evans, who is a cousin of Ellen Leager and then
proceeded to the house of Miss Harriet Thompson in
Rutgers Place. Harriet and Caroline had arrived just before
me. We passed the remainder of the afternoon and
evening very pleasantly. Five theological students and
another gentleman joined us after tea. In such company
who could but enjoy themselves. Piety and intellectual
attainments are after all the things most to be desired
in a companion. Conversation elevated and refined I
find that I can appreciate much more highly than a [pretty]
face, a fashionable address and a tongue and mind constantly
employed on trifles.
We left about half past ten. Mr Dane accompanied
me to the ferry.

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.
