Status: Needs Review

to my terrified imagination as my future lord and master
it would be considered only as a very proper and natural
reward for my presumption.
But I am wandering __ Mr Murphy, you have set me on
the wrong track, what do you mean & There! I did'nt
mean to say that your coming in, was alone the completion
of my happiness, I meant to have mentioned, immediately
after, another event equally important which helped
materially to fill up the grand sum total of pleasure
so gratefully enjoyed in this one evening, when with
the very mention of your name, your great, all important
self was presented so forcibly to my mind that I could not,
out of common politeness, forbear to give you a passing
notice; so now stand aside, just for a moment if you
please and see who comes next. __ Now I have it!
You have thrown yourself back in the rocking-chair in
a very-much-at-home manner and I am standing
with my arms around your neck, and Harriet, Mary
Emma and Elisabeth Culbert are laughing and chatting
away directly in front of us, when the door opens
and admits a blue-eyed, fair-haired little darling, looking
as though she had but just recovered from recent illness
but her colour rises and her eyes sparkle as she returns
atus fond greetings ~ How much she laughs like her old self
Father's "bird"! how good in him to bring her home to - day
and he looks as pleased to see her here again as can be.

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.
