Note: This recipe is written very hurriedly
in a very sloppy script, and the transcription may note be accurate. In
addition, the exact location where the marginal insertion 'from {salt} of
Potashes' should be inserted is not clear.

Entry: 49

Note: Fol. 49 is an octavo sheet, like the
other pages in this workdiary, folded in half and with entries are written on
both side of the fold. In addition, the entries in each fold of the page are
written in opposite directions -- that is, the top of the writing direction in
the left-hand fold is the bottom of the writing of the right-hand fold, and
vice-versa. The entries in the left-hand fold are written in very light pencil
which has rendered them largely illegible. The transcription below of the first
few lines must remain uncertain. These lines are followed by 4-5 lines which
are largely illegible but in which the words and symbols, 'sal volat. of oils',
'{tartar}', '{silver}', 'ens {copper}is' and 'glass' can be discerned.
