letter home; after tea took a walk to Brockley
Jack.

Sunday Sept. 11

I arose very early this morning, and [F?] his
wife and I started off shortly after seven
in an excursion to Lewes to see our relations
at that little town. We left London Bridge
Station at eight o'clock, and as the weather
was delightful we had a most pelasant
ride of about two hours duration. We passed
through a very beautiful country, nothing very
striking in the Scenery, nothing very grand
or romantic but very picturesque. We passed
through two or three tunnels one of which is
a mile long; and one of which passes under
the town of Lewes, and emerges at the
Station on the other side where we
alighted and proceeded to our cousin's
house in Albion St. which we found with-
out difficulty. I found them to be very
agreeable people, both of them being cousins
of mine, and cousins of each other; Edwin
Battersby having married his cousin Emma
Uncle [F's?] daughter. After a few minutes

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.
