very pleasantly in company of a large party
whom Thomas had invited to celebrate Christmas.

Sunday Jan 20

Went up to London; walked up to St James
Park to have a look at the skating, at which
some hundreds of people were actively
engaged as well as in sliding. We went
to [Squire?] Evening Service at St. Paul's
and heard a beautiful sermon by the
Rev. Mr. Makensie of Holloway.

Tuesday Jan. 22

Lizzie, Miss Dunn and I went to
Sadlers Wells to see the Pantomime -
Being a benefit night we had an
awful crush to get in. The first
piece was called "Love's Sacrifice". The
pantomime entitled: "The Princ, the Page,
and the Pageant" was only middling.
Being a very pleasant evening when we
went in we were very much surprised on
coming out to find ourselves sprawling
on the ground in the most helpless
and amusing manner: a light rain
having fallen and freezing, covered

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.
