day is merely the [?] of another
and as there has been nothing of importance
this week it does not make much difference.
I am getting along very well at the shop
and I still continue to be an object of
interest to my English fellow workmen
all of whom seem well disposed towards
me. After leaving work of an evening I
generally take a stroll through the street
before going home, which I already begin
to find is not altogether comfortable for
me; one great deprivaiton I feel is being
unable to have a time on the fiddle on
account of the young ones whom I would
probably wake up; and as there are no
opportunities of reading I find it better
to take a walk and a breath of fresh
air after the fatigues of the day.
This morning went up to London and
spent the day with my Uncle and
Aunt. My Aunt is a very little woman
in body and not much larger in mind
being very narrow minded indeed; but
is a very kind well disposed old lady

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.
