Status: Needs Review

Wednesday June 9th. Lovely day. Sewed in the morning.
In the afternoon shopped in Grand st and Fourth st
and called on Mary Reeve

Thursday. Weather the same. We all rose unusually early this
morning and were through breakfast and prayers before seven
o'clock. for a month past I have uniformly risen at
a very early hour and find the practice an excellent one
I find however that I am sleepy in the evening and am
obliged to retire earlier than formerly to make amends.
Well, I suppose this is a good practice also. "Early to bed,
and early to rise," has been preached into my ears by
my anxious Mamma from time immemorial, doubtless
from observing a very strong tendency to an opposite course
at least to the first clause. Quite early this morning
we were agreably [agreeably] surprised with a call from George Hudson
His farming life has added a shade of brown to his hitherto
almost too fair complexion but becomes him much,
I never saw him look so well. He says Kate's health
is not good and wants Carrie and I to make her a visit,
adding that she would be a great better if she had
company. We accordingly promised to come by and bye
should circumstances permit. No word from Harry, for
I was so neglectful as not even to mention his name!
What will he think? Mary R. called P. M. Father left [Dr?]
today on a trip to Canada. Heaven bless and protect him!
[Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?] [Dr?]
that I had much more to say than I could possibly find time [Dr?] [Dr?]

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.
