Status: Needs Review

Wednesday.. Rainy. Spent the day quietly and pleasantly at home.
Had made an engagement with Mary and Josy? to attend
the National Temperance Anniversary but none of us
were able to go. Evening in writing and reading.

Thursday.. Damp. At home occupied with my usual duties.
Mary Reeve made a long call in the afternoon, she will
leave W-- on Saturday morning for a week's visit to Jamaica
Evening in knitting a tidy and writing.

The coffee which we sent for nearly a week ago, and of
which we are greatly in want, was to-day brought to us
by one of teh men in the employ of Wilde & Co, Mr I--
who heretofore took the charge of delivering it with his own
hands, having refused to brint it, and probably would
have neglected it entirely, had not Nathaniel called on
him this morning and pretty forcibly called it to his recollection
What particular reason he has for his silly conduct I am
quite ignorant, but our one or two coffeeless breakfasts were
laughingly laid to my door. Even Father could not forbear to
smile. I-- is evidently provoked at someting -- he [put?]
me with a most ungracious frown last Sunday morning.

Friday.. Cool and cloudy. Delivered an errand in [First of?] in the
afternoon and called on the Culberts, and on Mrs Tucker.

The latter has recently received some good news from Mrs Leager
and her daughter, and says that I may daily expect a letter
Dr Finlay, who by the way, accompanied me across the verry on
Tuesday, spent the evening here much to Carrie's annoyance
Joseph Dickinson also made a long call on her ladyship 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.
