Description

This is a brown ledger with red leather corners that has always been used for recipes. It was probably light brown, and has the word "Ledger" stamped on the front cover. The last numbered page is 86. There is a group of alphabetic tabbed pages in front. They are extremely brittle and broken. Several recipes are written on each page. At tab U, the first of many news clippings of the column called Correct Cookery by Aunt Priscilla, written in what someone considered Negro speech. P. 1-4, 7-10, and 29-30 are missing. A recipe for ices is on p. 13, but all others are empty. From p. 33 to 54, there are more newspaper and magazine recipes pasted in and many handwritten recipes as well. P. 55-67 are empty. P. 68-72 and 77-80 are pickle recipes. The missing page numbers in the group are gone. P. 84-86 are pie recipes. Instructions for pruning tomatoes are pasted on the inside back cover.
