Notlar	Details the daily affairs of Elizabeth and her family from January to late July the family lives in Philadelphia, with occasional trips to New York to visit friends and family (her father Elias is frequently in New York). Elizabeth’s regular habits include going to church and religious lectures, visiting with friends and enjoying the company of family, doing homework, and going on occasional outings, such as to art galleries the Philadelphia Masonic Hall, Fairmount Water Works, the Academy of Sciences, a synagogue, and numerous churches. The few sources of anxiety include loved ones’ illnesses, missing her mother, and the perceived lack of a “thoughtful” and “serious” approach to spiritual discussion by other young women in her Philadelphia church community. Based on the diary, Elizabeth treasures her relationship with her parents and siblings, all of whom she refers to frequently and affectionately. In early August (8-4) the family boards a ship bound for Smyrna. Aside from seasickness and occasional delays due to rough weather, the trip is seemingly uneventful. Land is first spotted on August 31st. On Sept. 2nd she writes, “We are rapidly approaching Gibraltar…Oh what joy to see again the waters of my own blue Mediterranean!” She notes sightings of Gibraltar, Sardinia, Sicily, and describes an onshore excursion to the “gardens of San Antonio and … Vecchio with its catacombs and St. Paul’s cave” on 9-28, and later the Castle of St. Angelo and the Church of St. John. On Oct. 5 she writes that, “I suppose Papa reached Constantinople today.” Between Oct. 6-9 she notes passing “the island of Cerigo [Kythira/Çuha Adası],” “the isle of Minos [Crete],” “Eubea” and Andros. On Oct. 12 they reach Smyrna [İzmir], and the following days are spent doing shopping and setting up house. On Oct. 22 her brother Jamie is diagnosed with scarlet fever, and by Nov. 6 her brother Eddie and sister Emma have also fallen ill. Elizabeth reports on their condition “with great anxiety,” and she makes her last chronological entry to the diary on Nov. 24. [She passed away of scarlet fever on Nov. 28]. The diary contains an entry for Dec. 27, seemingly a few lines of poetry obviously added at an earlier date and the impression of a pressed leaf. The space dated Dec. 31 is filled with a “farewell to my journal” entry also clearly added earlier. The back of the agenda contains details about washing and shopping, and two pencil drawings, one of the sea voyage and one of New Vernon.; -
