returned along the South Eastern Railway
to see the trains as they flashed by with the
rapidity of lightening.

Thursday Sept. 17th
After quitting work this eveing I took a
stroll along the High St Boro before returning
home in order to see the sights which are
always to be seen in that crowded thoroughfare.
Happening to step into an Auction Store I was
deeply intent on the sale which was going on
when a light tap on my shoulder causing
me to look. I was highly delighted at meeting
with two of my old shipmates who were equally
surprised to see me. We withdrew to the street
and had a long conversation. They gave me
their address and invited me to call upon
them which I shall do one of these days.
They live just back of Causton & Sons.

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.
