a most peculiar orange hue and makes
it so dark as to render the use of
gas necessary all day. There is I think
something terrible in this sort of weather
and it is not strange that the blues pre-
vail to so great an extent or that
suicides are so frequent. When I first
came here I could hardly understand
what the blues were when I was aksed
if I had ever had them, but I now
begin to feel the oppression which
this weather produces.

Sunday Feb 28
A very disagreable and dirty day. Went
to St. Paul's Deptford morning service,
St Mary's Greenwich evening.

Sunday Mar. 6th
A very showery day. At home all day.
Wrote a letter home. This afternoon we
had a visit from Mrs. [Prudier?] and
daughter. Mrs. P. is a cousin of mine
being a daughter of Mrs. Battersby
father's sister. I have accepted an invitation
to tea on Sunday week.

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.
