Status: Needs Review

Wednesday June 16th Heat almost insupportable.
We all spent the day in sewing. Mr Murphy took tea
with us and afterwards in company with his dear
intended and Starr and Annie went off a walking
I spent the evening at home in reading.
Thursday. Temperature the same. Sewing again occupied
most of the day. Annie finished a sweet little bridal
hat for Harriet on which she has been employed
since Tuesday. We all pronounced it the prettiest one
we have seen this season. There seems to be no
limit to Annie's task and ingenuitty. She can make
almost everything necessary for a lady's attire and
that in the best style. Certainly no milliner could
out do her in the production of so pretty a hat.
Mr Murphy was perfectly delighted with it, he likes
elegant and expensive things as much as anyone, perhaps
more so than a minister should but Hattie's agrees with
him perfectly and says she shall dress just as she pleases
if she is a minister's wife and in this respect she differs
some from the lady of "The Sunny Side" yet there is no
doubt but that Harriet will well perform her part
and going hand in hand with her dear Douglas willcome
as a heaven-sent blessing whereever she shall be called
Starr bade us Good Bye in the morning. Annie spent the
day with us and returned home late in the afternoon when
it began to growcool.
Mr Murphy, Harriet, Carrie and I took tea and spent the
evening delightfully with the Culberts. Josiah accompanied
Carrie and I home about eleven o'clock.

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.
