Wednesday, Feb. 10th Rained all day. We, girls, had intended spending
the afternoon and evening with Miss Harriet Thompson in
the city but the rain of course prevented. Mr. Murphy spent the evening with Hattie.
Thursday, Chilly. Spent the day at home as usual. [illegible] Dickinson
called for Carrie to attend Lyceum. I did not go
Joseph Wilde called on me. The Holbrooks called in the P.M.
Friday. Snowed. Carrie and I spent the afternoon and took
tea with the Henderson's. We had a very pleasant time
Mr. Henry, who is still very weak, was troubled with the
blues, and did not make his appearance, which was quite
a disappointment to us. Our church prayer meeting was
held at their house in the evening. Quite a number
were present. Mr. George very adroitly slipped out our
parlor door as Father came in the other and absented
himself [illegible] the services were over, when he again made
his appearance. Carrie, Nat, and I remained till near
eleven o'clock. George accompanied us home.
Saturday. Valentine Day. Pleasant. St. Valentine, being taken
very little notice of by the grown young people to-day
seems to have made himself very friendly with the little
boys. They entered into the sport heart and hand, but abused
the poor saint most shamefully. their numerous billet-doux
being anything but loving, and even much more frequently
addressed to each other rather than to the girls. Hattie, Carrie
and I, however, were humoured with a few of them. Our door bell was
mercilessly assailed much to the amusement of Cornelius & Fred.
Received good long letter from Mary Reeve also a note from [illegible] Hearns

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.
