Sunday Mar. 19

We spent the morning in digging our
little patch of garden, which is about
sixty feet long and fifteen wide, and
in preparing it for planting. The weather
is very windy and squally.

Wednesday Mar. 22

Went this evening to the Alhambra, Leicester
Square. A very good entertainment.

Sunday Mar. 26

Went up to London. Uncle and I took
a walk to Shoreditch to see the Whittalls.
Went to hear Spurgeon in the evening.

Sunday Apr. 2

A beautiful bright day, and more like
spring than any day we have yet had.
The seasons in England are so much
alike, that were it not for the rain
it would be a difficult matter to tell when
one season ends and another begins.
T. and I took a morning walk around
Blackheath which now looks beautiful
and green: and through Greenwich Park
lovely at any season.

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.
