Status: Needs Review

Tuesday. Pleasant. Annie passed the day with us. She was evidently
depressed though she tried at times to put on an appearance
of cheerfulness, -- and indeed she has cause for sadness.
To think of her sweet litter sister sacrifieced to such a
villian as Mr Branch is enough to sadden any one.

Maggie has left him, and is concealed from him by her
friends. He begged to see her but she has refused, and
[told?] him in a note that she would not be his wife
another hour. He seemed to be very much attached to her
and intended to take her to Europe in two weeks; probably
that for fear that any reports of his former life might
reach her. A fortnight more and it would have been
all too late, and she completely in his power, but she
was saved in time. At the dinner table Annie told
us how she felt when her brother came to her with an
account of his true character, and of her immediate
flight. It was quite affecting, and we all shed tears.
Maggie always appeared to us very much like a child,
and her decision and [energy?] which she now displays
seems quite surprising. She has born his disappointment
well thus far but is now quite ill.

Hannah W-- called in the afternoon. Mary Willet? took
with us and spent the evening. Starr also joined us at [tea?]
-time. Elisabeth Maggie? & Annie Coulbert? with Alexander
Mr Hutchings and George Hudson and Kate? spent the eve
with us very pleasantly. They left about twelve, 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.
