Status: Needs Review

Thursday.. June 24th. Cloudy and cool. Was not very well
and after a busy morning found myself unfit for anything
in the afternoon. Mary Reeve called. also Kate Skinner
and her sister Maggie. __ Evening in reading.

Friday.. Pleasant. Sewed all day and went to bed very
early with a headache. Nothing very important occurred
Called on Mrs Dickinson [Dr?] M. and borrowed a directory
for Harriet, and in the evening she made out a list
for her wedding cards.
Saturday.. Warm. Was not well. Carrie and I polished the
parlor furniture in the morning. Sewed all the afternoon.
Mr Murphy came over and brought the wedding cards
and also a beautiful Spanish fan for Harriette from
Mrs Brinckerhoff. __ The cards looked very pretty.
I never fancied Harriet's intended name before, but
on the cards I liked it very much. Looking at them
I began to realize that she was soon to leave us
for the heart and home of another, but however unwill
-ing we may be to part with her it is much consolation
to reflect that if there be faith and trust on earth
she has assuredly fallen into good hands.
D. and He spent the afternoon in the study directing
their cards

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.
