Arwilda’s edits

Arwilda’s note: Changed “possible duplicate vanilla with unclear relationship” to “a lower vanilla-like misspelling is crossed out and vanilla is inserted above it”. Record a correction edit whose final text is vanilla. Keep the exact deleted spelling unresolved.

Needs review

Uncertain instruction adding vanilla: Two closely placed handwritten readings resembling ‘vanilla’ appear after ‘Add margarine -’; whether one is an insertion, overwrite, or duplicate wording is unclear. Candidates: “Add margarine - vanilla - pecans & beat until creamy.”, “Add margarine - vanilla vanilla - pecans & beat until creamy.”.

Uncertain uncertainties: the edit role resolves as replacement; only the original crossed spelling remains unclear Candidates: “the edit role resolves as replacement; only the original crossed spelling remains unclear”.
