were caught in the shower and as many more were
prevented from coming at all supposing that they would
be too late, butHarriet unwilling to disappoint any one
deferred the ceremony till half an hour later. Many
came after the storm, our little parlors were ^ soon filled
mostly with our relatives, and Harriet's and Mr Murphy's
most intimate friends. About a dozenof Mr Murphy's
classmates from the Seminary were here also.
At exactly half past three the two came down stairs
and entered the front parlor alone and took their
places. How lovely they looked! always fine looking I
never saw either of them look so handsome before
Harriet was pale but calm, Annie said that Mr Murphy
looked saucy, but I could detect no other expression on
his fine [Dr?] [Dr?] that of exulting but thankful
happiness. The bride was dressed in a plain, drab colored
travelling ^ dress fitting closely, and setting off finely her beautiful
figure, with white undersleeves, white kid gloves, and
orange blossoms in her hair. Neither of them seemed
in the least embarrassed, probally all other thought were
forgotten in the solemnity of the occasion.
Father performed the ceremony. I had hard work to

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.
