Arrived at Dr Guernsey's about twelve o'clock. Found
Carrie and Annie in their room in disabille - the others
were out. Mary Jane and Maggie having spent the morning
in shopping came home soon after dinner. We all beeame
very lively even boisterously so and the afternoon passed
quickly. Annie and Carrie went into Broadway before
tea on an errand. Stan brought us the pleasing intelligence
that cousin Kate King from Florida will arrive to-morrow
Mrs Schenah, Mary Jane & Maggie are going out. Went
this week to take measures for Maggie's divorce
from Mr Branch. They expect to be abscent about
three months. We bade them all an affectionate adieu
soon after tea and started for home. Annie accompanied
us to the stage. Arrived home safely -- retired early.
Tuesday. July 13th Very warm -- sewed all this morning,
At noon Stan arrived with cousin Kate, it was a happy
meeting between us all, but Kate was quite overcome.
She has not been to the North in sixteen years, and
although she was then only a little girl she became much
attached to her friends here, and time and change have
not diminished her affection, especially toward Harriet
who is dear to her as a sister. Kate is about Hattie's
height, very slender, and very sweet and refined in her
manners and appearance. I loved her at once and
it soon seemed as if I had known her all my life.
Mary Willet and Mary Reeve called in the afternoon

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.
