Status: Needs Review

Friday June 11th Pleasant. Sewed very busily all day..
Mrs [Hiams?], Helen and Milton called soon after tea.
Miss Helen is the most complete piece of affectation I
ever met with. Underneath all she appears to be a
smart, intelligent, and good-hearted girl but is sadly
deficient in common sense. Mr William Tyler
spent the evening here.
Saturday. Bright and windy. Was not very well.
Mary Reeve called in the afternoon. Retired early
Ellen Dickinson called A.M.
Sunday. Fine day. Attended our church in the morning
The minister who was to supply Father's place was ill
so Mr Wilde conducted the services. Afternoon at home
Starr was with us till near tea-time. He with Annie
came over to spend the Sabbath with Kate, and so like
a good boy he (runs?) up home awhile. Mr Murphy took
tea with us. In the evening Joseph and Mary, Natty and
I met by agreement and together attended Mr [McHane's?]
church. The pastor preached a fine sermon -- his subject
was Peter, his life and character.
Monday. Rather warm. Busy day. Our mattrasses were
exchanged for feather beds today - vice versa, what
an odd mistake! Elisabeth Culbert called in the
afternoon

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.
