Manuscripts
A collection of remedies, culinary and household recipes, this manuscript volume appears to be a fair copy with later annotations in the hand of Mrs. Holmes (whose name appears on the upper pastedown), dating from the last half of the nineteenth century. The recipes in the volume range from suckling pig and marmalade to furniture oil and the remedies include how to bleach freckles and make a gargle for a sore throat. Also enclosed is a manuscript originally laid into the volume and now placed in a mylar sleeve; it is a recipe for pomatora, from approximately 1675-1725, and on the verso is an autograph note addressed to "Mrs Jobber."
