Arwilda’s note: The visible change cannot be read reliably. A word between “lids” and “put” is crossed out and unreadable.

Needs review

Uncertain top right marginal annotation: Reading and role are unclear; kept out of recipe fields. Candidates: “Helli Garden”, “Helle’s Garden”.

Uncertain dill ingredient quantity wording: Word after “or” appears to read “about,” but wording is unusual. Candidates: “1 dill head or about you want (for Dilling)”, “1 dill head or as much you want (for Dilling)”.

Uncertain final instruction: Crossed-out word and final wording after “put” are unclear. Candidates: “5) Boil lids [crossed-out word] put in hot for 5 or seven jars”, “5) Boil lids [crossed-out word] put on hot for 5 or seven jars”.

Uncertain uncertainties: top-note candidate Helli Gardening; dill line resolved as ‘1 dill head or what you want (for Dill flavor)’ Candidates: “top-note candidate Helli Gardening; dill line resolved as ‘1 dill head or what you want (for Dill flavor)’”.
