Status: Needs Review

Sunday. June 27th Bright and warm. Attended our church
in the morning with Harriet. Father preached.
Spent the afternoon and evening at home mostly in reading
Mr Murphy took tea with us and spent the evening with H.

Monday.. Delightful weather. We of course all spent it very
busily. Harriet's industry seems untiring but she is
now nearly through. Every thing will be ready just in
time there is no fear of that for who ever found her
unprepared on any important expected occasion.
It will all go off slick as a whistle you may be sure
she says to Carrie and I as we wonder at her perfect
composure and collectedness while she all eye, all ear,
all attention attends to everything, disposes of everything
forgetting nothing not even the most minute and
unimportant, and withal is gay, as cheerful and as
unaffectedly happy as if she had not a care.
What a charm there is in a sunny disposition.
At this busy anxious period, when the expectant bride
might almost be expected to be a little abstracted, nervous
and impatient. Harriet's calm bright smile seems indeed
like a ray of light in our household.
I was much pleased this afternoon to receive a call
from my old friend Henry Hudson. This is the first time
he has visited Williamsburgh since left. He came this
morning with his Father, mother and Hannah
Harriet received a sweet letter from Cousin Kate saying that she
would be unable to come [Dr?] in time for the wedding for want
of an escort, but hoped to come in a few weeks.

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.
