river before dinner; spent the remainder
of the day at Uncle's in company of
Cousin Emma and others.

Sunday May 27

Went up to see John Mullens at Holloway.
Went by omnibus from London Bridge
to the Angel and walked the rest of
the way. Before dinner John and I had
a most delightful walk across the
lovely meadows surrounding Hornsey,
Highate &c. The country is now in
its freshest and openest constitution,
and the shower of last night made
every thing look so sweet, and so refreshing
that it was quite a treat to a person
who like myself is shut up within
brick walls all the year round, and
who hasn't the chance to catch a breath
of fresh air probably more than once
a year. We walked for about eight
miles, and then returned to dinner.
After dinner we sat in the garden
and conversed with the two old
Aunts Sarah and Mary, who live in

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.
