as from timidity horror or some such feeling she has never
yet looked at a corpse; so Ellen Dickinson who was
present went with me No one could have any unpleas-
-ant feeling on gazing on that sweet face of the dead
The pale, waxen features still preserved the same lovely
expression they had worn in life; she looked like one
who had but just fallen into a peaceful slumber.
The shroud was of white merino and beautiful white
flowers were tastefully arranged within the coffin
We waited till the coffin was closed and borne to the
hearse and the mourners left with it then Mary and
I slowly wended our way to Mr Wilde's. We had no
special object in calling and indeed I was rather unwilling
to go but Mary wished to very much and the day was so
fine that the walk could not be otherwise than pleasant
We saw all the female members of the family and
staid some time we then called on Kate Hudson but
did not find her at home Also called on Anna Boswck
Mary and I separated about six o'clock after spending a
very pleasant afternoon in each other's company
Carrie returned to Brooklyn the course of this afternoon
Hugh Dickinson and C. Daniel called to see her in the
evening expecting to find her at home as they had seen her
at church in the afternoon but being disappointed did not come in
H. Hudson spent the evening with me and showed me some
very curious letters which he had received from a certain comical genius
of my acquaintance while in California They amused me very much

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.
