Status: Needs Review

He is naturally fond of music and probally expects that
she will begin to warble very soon, but he must be
disappointed this time for she has had a throat complaint
and the Doctor has forbidden any singing at present
Well, Miss Carrie, was kissed to her hearts content,
comfortably seated in Mr Murphy's lap, and I took off
her things and carried them away. Then came tea.
After that we all spent a social, pleasant evening together
Carrie and I slept together that night, how natural and
how good it seemed. __ She is yet weak, and looks pale
and delicate but will soon be well I hope.
Wednesday. April 28th Pleasant. Commenced reading [Dr?]
Pompilius by Florian a French writer of the last century.
I found it very interesting and instructive.
Was busy most of the day, but caught up my book at
every chance opportunity. Carrie and I found it very
pleasant to be together again. Made some ginger-bread
for her, she being very fond of it. Mr Hutchingson spent
the evening very pleasantly with us. In the course
of conversation "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was mentioned
and elicited a very warm discussion on the subject
of Slavery. It was argued principally by Mr Hutching
Mary E. and Harriet: the first two being pro-slavery
the latter anti-slavery. Harriet's part was the best
sustained. Doubtless from the fact that she was in the
right; and they most obviously wrong.

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.
