Pages That Mention Sparte

Diary by a young American woman living in the Philippines, 1905

Indexed

p. 38

Saturday, April 8. Went to the Sparte with Marjorie. She went away with indigestion pain. I sat with Col. Appell. Dr. Marshall invited me to drive with him and we left before the end. He took me to the San Lazaro Hospital where all the lepers are confined. There are several hundred and they are obliged to spend their lives there. They were arranging a play for amusement. Went into the insane ward, also saw patient recovering from Bubonic plague and one small pox. Dined with Admiral Train on the Rainbow. Other guests – Dr. & Mrs. Strong, Mr & Mrs. Jones, Commander Wells & Lt. Milne.

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.
