grown older and wiser, yet we lo,oked upward to-night also and smiled and we thought of three years ago.
It was a pleasant walk we took to-night, and at the Lyceum I thought many glances were directed to the
returned Californian. Dr. E. S Porter delivered a very fine lecture on the "Perversions of Science ", to which I gave very good attention as Huery observed. in fact I was very much pleased with it, and consider it as one of the best lectures I have heard this winter. [ ] and Ellen accompanied [ ] and [ ], and on our return all came in. [ ] did not stay long as it is necessary for him to keep early hours.

Friday, February 27th Weather pleasant. [ ] in the morning In the afternoon called on Mr. Lockwood , the [ ]
superintendent and distributed [ ], then called on [ ] strong Mrs. Hearns, and returned very much fatigued, yet in the evening attended a church Prayer meeting at Mr. [ ]. My little [ ] Emma Wilde is one of the prettiest babies I ever saw. She was in her mother's arms when we came in , but slept quietly in her cradle while the services went on. We all walked home in company with Mr. & Mrs. Hudson

Saturday It had snowed all night and it had snowed all day. Snow, snow, snow! Pretty as it is I am getting tired of it but Spring is almost here and we shall soon see the last of snow, which I shall bid goodbye without much [ ]

Just starting to look at transcription opportunities. I hope it gets easier.

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.
