round a bend in the river. We were highly
delighted, for we now saw our way out of our
disagreeable situation. She was soon up to
the pier and we were very much disappointed
not to say disgusted to hear that she was
going no further. We had no other resort now
than to return in [Lea?] to town or to endeavor
to reach Hampton Court by some other
means. As the raind had now held up
and the remainder of the day bade fair to be
clear we concluded to do the latter.
So we quitted the pier and walked across
the bridge, with the expectation of being
overtaken by an omnibus. Several passed
us but they were all filled to overflowing
both inside and out, and we saw that
if we wished to reach either Hampton or
Richmond we must do the journey on foot.
We started off briskly with this intention
and had not proceeded far when another
very heavy shower came up, and continued
with great violence until we had reached

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.
