I had to speak the young lady fair, who
waited upon us, in order to bring her to
acquiesce in a fresh supply of visitors
requiring fresh bed linen, for it is cu =
rious to observe how in Inns clean
+ comfortable in other respects, this is
a luxury not thought at all necessary.

Our active dwarfish elfin looking
attendant however objected to nothing
that was required of her, + after pro =
ducing a most luxurious quantity
of cold water, (which can only be duly
valued where it cannot always be pro =
cured, ) bade us adieu with an air of grace,
which many who have passed through
all a dancing masters discipline would
vainly endeavour to imitate -

May 5th We reached [[Vienna]] in approaching
which the river loses its interest + beauty,
the last striking object that we passed
was the Castle of Dürrenstein [Castle of Dürnstein] once the
prison of our Richard first, the ruins of
which are situated on an [?], amidst
walls of wild + jagged rock, a most for =

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.
