Friday May 21st Lovely day. Our visitors were obliged to leave
us soon after breakfast, on account of an engagement
at home. We girls spent the day in sewing on the
carpet which we finished before tea.
Prayer meeting at our house in the evening. Joseph &
Hannah WIlde staid more than an hour after the
class. I tried to appeas as usual though I felt tired
and sick, and was relieved when they at last left.
Caroline retired before meeting commenced.

Saturday. Warm and pleasant. A cessation of cleaning operations
today. Was busy in the kitchen most of the morning.
Sewed in the afternoon, and also finished a large
[t]idy which I intend as a present to Mr Murphy's mother.
Harriet will take it with her on her wedding trip.
She was much pleased with it.
Not being well I retired soon after tea.

Sunday. Damp. Attended our church in the morning.
A stranger preached; I do not recollect his name.
Did not again go out; being quite unwell and slept
most of the afternoon. Read the relious papers
in the evening, and derived much pleasure and I trust
benefit in the perusal of the American Messenger, a
paper published monthly by the Tract Society.
Also spent some time in reading the Book of books
and retired about ten/ Father preached in the morning
for Mr McGann, over church Bell, and in Bushwick in the evening

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.
