Monday. Cloudy. [Cornelius] was able to come down stairs
today but is [white?] obliged to keep very quiet. [Mary Reese]
called in the afternoon and after spending an hour or so
at our house we together called on the [Hardon's?].
[Kate] was absent but we saw [Mrs Hudson] and [George]
and made a very pleasant call. It commenced [hailing?]
before we left. [George] and [Mary] accompanied me home
came in and staid awhile and then left together
Both were in high spirits and seemed to enjoy each
others society. [Henry Henderson] spent the evening with me
Of course it passed very pleasantly nothwithstanding for
some time it will be the last. He leaves to-morrow
on a visit to [illegible] [Island] and does not expect to
return till after the family have left [Williamsburgh]
So I shall not see him any more at present on which
account I feel quite sorry ------ no, not exactly sorry either
I shall miss him as a friend and if he misses me at
all I hope it will be in the same way. He bade me
"Good Bye" about eleven o'clock. I then retired. 8 am
Tuesday. Raining. [illegible] announced himself is making paper flowers
which he makes surprisingly well, and were very
much admired by us all. [illegible] most of the day.

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.
