Notlar	Begins on Elizabeth’s 12th birthday. The Riggs children, “Mr. Benjamin’s children and William Johnston” all go for a walk, passing through “Turk town,” skirmishing with Turkish boys, going to a mill, and watching camels being fed. On subsequent days she describes flying kites, experiencing earthquakes, receiving visitors, taking French lessons, various people’s health, the comings and goings of her parents, weather. A number of missionaries visit the family, and Elizabeth details where they have been and where they are going (Athens, Mosul, Aintab, Beirout, Constantinople, Salonica, Jerusalem), and by which ships. On April 8 (1852) Elizabeth writes that “at last the contract for our house in the country is made, and we think of moving week after next,” and on April 22 she indicates that they have moved to the country the previous Tuesday. Elizabeth describes various encounters with animals, such as being given a pet bird, seeing swarms of locusts, feeding a kitten (and drowning its siblings), and bringing home a hedgehog (which young Emma refers to as a “pitchfork”). The diary ends in October, shortly after the birth of the newest Riggs child, James.; -
