still they were beautiful, and were much admired
by the crowd who were assembled in the vicinity
We returned near two o'clock. Joseph and Mary
accompanied us home and remained about an hour later
Father was in the the parlors with us a short time during
their stay, and afterwards remarked that Mary was
the smallest marriageable [piece?] he ever saw.
"The best goods are done up in the smallest packages"
Joseph says whenever Mary's size is referred to but
however that may be he will have a nice little wife.

Tuesday. Very warm. In the course of the morning I started
of to visit my cousin Martha Wood who is now with Aunt
Graves in Brooklyn. I took one of our kittens with me as
a present to Aunt, it was a pretty little thing but too
smart altogether for becoming frightened by the rattling of
the stages. It pushed of the cover of the basket in which
I was carrying it, jumped out and vanished like a phantom
I felt badly, got out of the stage and looked for it some
time and being unsuccessful I proceeded on my way and arrived
at my place of destination without further accident. Found
Martha and Aunt at home - Aunt was not very well.
Martha entertained me all day in talking about a fortune teller
who had called there in the morning and pretended to unveil
to her her future destiny yet what she said had much the
appearance of truth and it seems hard to be accounted for

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.
