London.
As I had nothing particular to keep me in London
I told him I was quite ready to go down to Southampton
on the Friday night- we went through Guy's
Hospital & St Thomas' An operation was going
on at Guy's at which I think they would have
been nothing the worse of the assistance of some
of our Edinr. Surgeons. With proper teachers the
students in Guy's ought to make good practitioners
as they see an immense deal of practice both
dispensary & Hospital. I was astonished to see
the number of patients waiting I never saw
anything like it in our Infirmary. I went
through some of the principal thouroughfares
in London & then returned to the waverly
to dinner What a continual bustle & stir
is going on in London every part you can
turn your eyes to presents the same scene
was very anxious to call at Morrison's
warehouse but I was told by so many
different people differrent directions to
Fore Street that I was obliged to give up
the search in case I should run short

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.
