in course of time to something more
respectable. The hours are excessively
long from 7 o'clock, till 8 in the evening
with half an hour breakfast, one hour
dinner and half an hour tea. My
wages are but sixteen shillings or about
four dollars per week which will just be
sufficient to cover my expenses by strict
economy.

This morning I went up to London to see
my uncle and spent the day with him.
I attended morning service with my aunt
at St. Paul's Cathedral. After dinner we
had a glass of wine after which I went
to afternoon service at St. Giles Cripplegate
which is next door to Uncles, whose parlor
windows look out upon the old church-
yard. It is a very fine church and one
of the oldest in London being many
hundred years old but has been [?]
renovated, and repaired. The congre-

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.
