Saturday, Lovely day. Father took my letters to Mr. Inchen who kindly offered to enclose it in one of his that he sends today. I pity poor Mrs. Leager and Ellen when they receive it -- and oh what would I give to be there to soothe their sorrow! -- I was not well but kept about all day day and though I was obliged to lie down once in a while I did not lose many moments thus. Caroline went to Brooklyn in the afternoon.
Sunday August 1st Refreshingly cool. Morning at home. Attended S. School and church in the afternoon. Father preached from 1 John 3:25. Went with him to Monthly Concert in the evening. S. Wilde accompanied me home -- talked rather more rationally than when I saw him last -- he complained much of the blues.
Monday. Pleasant. Sewed very steadily all the morning Harriet and Kate came home to dinner and spent the afternoon and evening with us -- Douglas also joined them at tea. -- Katie and Kattie and I went out shopping together in the afternoon. How glad I was that she was with me she knows so much more about such things than I do -- it seems as though I could never do without her. Mr. Warner and Dr. Kinlay called in the evening.

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.
