Status: Needs Review

Friday.. Pleasant. Mary Emma looking about for something to
do came to the conclusion that the pastors wanted attending
to and going briskly to work she soon, as Morty said,
"made the pastors shine." Harriet came home in the
morning and returned again in the afternoon.
She left Carrie better, but still unable to be left entirely
Her visit, short as it was, was a real comfort to me
who deeply feels the need of a sister's constant love and
society. What shall I do when they are gone?
as I tell Mother, I am afraid Ishall have to leave too.
Mrs Joseph Hudson sent us all an invitation to take
tea with her which we declined.
In the afternoon Sarah and I promenaded fourth [Dr?]
where we met a number of acquaintances, also stopped
at a jeweller's and a confectioner's and returned in time
for tea. Samuel, Sarah and Mr Wilde spent the evening
here. Mrs Hudson and Phineas also called to bid us
farewell. They have been detained all the week by the
unpleasant weather but hope to get away to-morrow
Saturday. Pleasant. The Hudson's left early in the morning.
Sarah said their house looked so strange and deserted
now that they were gone, and I thought so too when I
came to think of it. There will be no fun in looking
over that way now. After a very busy day, Sarah and I took
a walk out with Natty; rather late in the afternoon.
Met Mary Reeve and Ellen Dickinson. Natty made himself very
troublesome before we reached home.
Father returned from Boston in the morning
Sarah spent the early part of the afternoon in watching the
the graceful figure of G. B. H. as he stood on his piazza ordering
the men who werecarrying away the furniture and occasionally lending

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.
