morning. Resting satisfied with this
assurance I returned to my hotel,
after taking a very short stroll through
two or three of the neighboring streets,
which seemed all alive with music,
and pleasure. For this, as it afterward
appeared to me as I inspected it by
daylight, was the sailors quarter, and
was principally occupied by their lodging
houses, and places of resort. Returning
to the tavern I sat down and wrote
a short letter home delivering my
experiences so far; and then feeling
rather hungry and tired, I requested
some supper and a bed. In the mean-
time however I was accosted by one or
tow others, who, taking me for a green-
horn which I really was, endeavored
to operate upon me, but being perfect-
ly alive now as to the character of
the company in which I found my-
self I turned a deaf ear to their
soft persuasions and thus escaped
being robbed. Having eaten a supper

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.
