cotton famine, that I am begining already
to incline to the opinion which almost every
one to whom I speak entertains that
there is no immediate prospect. However I
can do nothing but look around. This
afternoon Mrs Dunn and I went to see
Aunt Ames who lives at Islington. On going
there we met Aunt Milton in the street.
After taking tea with Aunt Ames who is
a very nice old lady we proceeded to Kings-
land to see my cousin Maryanne and
her little family who number four. We
saw her husband John [Mullins?] who returned
from business late in the evening and after taking
supper with them we returned home.

Tuesday Aug. 25th

streets which I am already tired and
sick of. I answered two advertisements
this afternoon for situations but I haven't

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.
