which I already begin to think will not
be very easy to do. Attended Divine
Service at St. Paul's Cathedral this afternoon.
We, my cousin and I, got home a little
earlier being about seven instead of nine. This
evening I was introduced to Mr. [Braine?]
my cousins brother-in-law who I am in-
formed is a waterman or sailor on the river.
We took quite a long walk to the town of Green-
wich and called at a Public House on the
river side called "The Union" and had
some porter. We reached home about
twelve. The streets through which we passed
were even at this late hour blazing with
gas lights and thronged with people, this
being market night. It was rather a strange
sight to me.

Sunday Aug. 23rd
My first Sunday in England. After breakfast
this morning Thomas, his little boy Walter,
and I took a very long walk to Greenwich
Park, one of the great [resorts?] of the London
people. It is about one mile square and
occupies a pretty commanding position

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.
