Saturday Feb 21st. Busy at home. Pleasant in the morning but snowed in the afternoon. Wrote in my journal in the evening.
Sunda. The snow lay about four inches in depth on the ground and was very sloppy owing to the weather which was wild. By afternoon the influence of the sun had changed it to water, none of the clearest however. I attended church all day. Heard an excellent sermon in the morning by the Rev. Mr. Atwater on the parable of the "Sower and the Seed." Father preached in the P.M. Attended L. School as usual. Evening in reading.
Cornelius birthday fourteenth, I can remember fourteen years ago today quite distinctly.
Monday. Warm and very pleasant. Spent it at home in my usual duties. Some parade was made in honor of Washington's birthday. Mr. Taylor Warner called in the morning to request Father to attend the funeral of his youngest child a daughter about three weeks old. My feelings towards my former Sunday School teacher have lately been of no pleasant nature but now how could I but pity and forgive. Helen Stearns called. Evening in writing.
Tuesday. Cloudy and damp. Mother and Harriet attended the funeral of Mr. T.C. Warner's baby. Father officiated. I should have gone also but the rain prevented. About four P.M. I called on Katie Hudson and saw all the family. Made quite a long and pleasant call. George accompanied me home. Evening in reading and writing.

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.
