to the view generally held here [?] for nothing
owing to the superabundance of skilled labor
people will not put up with unskilled ignorant
people about them and you cannot wonder at it
where hundreds are out of employment.

Sunday Aug 30th
I have been so hurried and bustled about
these last few days that I have neen
unable to keep an account of things as they
occur. After having almost given up the
hope of obtaining any employment in
England I was overjoyed to hear on
Wednesday last that I was to call on a gentleman
the next morning to see if he could furnish
me with anything to do; accordingly at ten
Thursday morning Thomas and I called upon
Mr. Caneton of the firm of Caneton & Sons
Printers, Lithographers, Engravers etc. at his
place of business 14 Pudding Lande City and
after a very long interview he finally con-
cluded to give me eployment in his
warehouse. My situation is very humble
but anything is better than none and
by steady application etc I expect to rise

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.
