Wednesday. Delightful weather. Balmy Spring seems to have stolen upon us unawares. The day was quite too pleasant to spend within doors, so soon after breakfast I called on Ellen Dickinson, and Ellen Waterman. Also went into Grand street, shopping. Returned and spent the remainder of the morning, and the early part of the afternoon sewing. Henry Hudson then came in and staid till dusk. Elizabeth Culbert and Ellen Dickinson called. Mr Murphy took tea with us and spent the evening with Hattie.
Thursday. Very pleasant. Aunt Graves spent the day with us. I spent most of the afternoon at Mrs Stearns'. Carrie Heath called at our house. In the evening when getting ready to attend Lyceum, expecting to go as usual with Natty. I was agreeably surprised when Mr Henry H presented himself to accompany me thither. It is the first time that he has been out in the evening since his illness, and he is still quite weak, and sometimes noticed it however had he not mentioned it himself when we were returning.

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.
