two at cards. Then we retire early, generally
pass a comfortable night and rise early
the next morning at the Carpenters morning
call. [[Mrs Crittenden]] made me a loaf
of soda bread today; of which the
principal ingredient was soda. I had
some for supper and ate very heartily
of it, taking a good draught of
cream of tartar water soon after.
The two did not seem to agree together
and have puffed me out like a blown
out frog, and have been the cause of
my passing a very disagreeable evening.

Wednesday Aug 5th
Exactly three weeks out from [[New York]]. It
has been a very changable day, sunshine
and rain; fair wind but very light.
Every evening now they hang out two
lights; a red one on the port bow,
and a green one on the starboard
bow; a sign that we are in the
track of vessles. We passed the eveing
in the saloon. Borrowed a fiddle from

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.
