Arwilda’s edits

Arwilda’s note: Changed “Aunt Minnie’s recipe; third crossed line candidates written or Williams” to “Aunt Minnie’s recipe followed by a heavily crossed third line that resembles William or Williams”. Retain the deletion and revise the candidate readings toward William/Williams; do not resolve the obscured attribution.

Needs review

Uncertain third line of crossed-out top-left annotation: The final crossed-out line is not reliably readable. Candidates: “written”, “Williams”.
