With a feeling of disappointment, vexation
and mortification, I retraced my way through
the streets which I was now pretty well
acquainted with, to the depot and procured
a ticket for Philadelphia via the Jersey
City Railway. Before I left the ship to go
to the merchants office, I took the precaution
of stowing away my baggage in the bunk
which I intended to occupy, and
where I left it in apparent security;
but all the way home I was haunted
with the idea that I had done wrongly
in doing so and that I had left it
in the power of anyone who might
feel disposed to remove it. This idea
so strongly took posession of my mind
that I was exceedingly uncomfortable
all the way home, and indeed mis-
erable until I returned on Monday
morning and found it safe where
I had placed it. I arrived at home
about seven o'clock in the evening.
They were all very much surprised
at my return and of course could

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.
