Transcription Notes:
The name of the family people are visiting in these pages is Via (see this page from the Smithsonian: http://amhistory.si.edu/archives/AC0475.pdf). This information should be propagated across all documents. Entry on Thurs 26th - the word shoes is a good example for how the author's "s" looks at the end of a word.
