slender pittance. This sailor came from
the same locality from which I did which
was another reason for associating with him.
His name was Dick and a few days ago
he asked me if I would do a small
favor for him when the ship came into
port. Being somewhat indebted to him for
his kindness to me during the voyage, I
unhesitatingly consented to do
anything for him as far as lay in my
power. The little favor which he wished
me to do for him was to take charge of
and see [landed?] a few clothes and other
articles which he possessed, which I consented
to do, believing that they would make for
a small bundle at most. A associating
with the sailors was altogether against
the rules of the ship, I was obliged to
take advantage of a quick moment to
get his things from the forecastle to
my bunk They consisted of two large
sacksfull, each about three feet long;
had I imagined there were so many
I do not think I would have anything

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.
