Status: Needs Review

Monday. April 19th Rained all day. Busy as usual and sewed
some.

Tuesday. Weather the same -- dismal enough. In the afternoon
gave Sarah a lock of my hair and received a beautiful
long black tress in return. Sarah received a letter
from her Mother in the evening.
Wednesday. Drizzling still when I arose, but cleared off at
noon; so soon after dinner Sarah and Natty packed up
and went over to the city. On his return from the city in
the evening Albert presented Mother with a beautiful silver cake-basket.
Thursday. Pleasant. Unwell. Went to bedsoon after breakfast
and slept tillnoon; afternoon in reading.
Joseph Wilde spent the evening very pleasantly with me.
Friday. Half sick and disinclined to do much.
This is April weather certainly. Rain and shine succeed
each other so quickly that it seemed rather a risky
business to venture out. Father went to see Carrie in the
evening and found her better. E. Daniel called.
I forgot to say on Wednesday that George Hudson called
in the morning and spent an hour or so very pleasantly
with Sarah and I. G. and I exchanged locks of hair
and parted quite affectionately but it was evident that
there was a little more irony and a little less earnestness
on his part than in hers. Neverttheless both seemed to enjoy the
fun and so did I.

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.
