Dunn and I took a walk and visited
St. Paul's Cathedral. We spent a considerable
time wandering about this huge building, inspecting
the monuments with which the walls are
covered. But a very small portion of the
Cathedral is fitted up for Divine Service
and here at four o'clock service began
which we attended. It merely consisted
of Evening Prayer and was intoned or sung
by the minister and choristers or boys
dressed in white surplices and was very
solemn. It did not appear to be very
well attended and the congregation
seemed to consist principally of strangers
like myself or people who did not
know what else to do with themselves, and
who apparantly just [lounged?] here to pass an hour
or so away. We did not stop long after ser-
vice was over but returned home in time
for tea. After tea I spent an hour or two
in learning Cribbage with Mrs. Dunn as
my teacher. After supper at half past
eight, Thomas and I returned to his
house at New Cross, my temporary sleeping place.

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.
