Dense, chewy, and heavily spiced with dried fruit, they were prized for keeping well in a tin for several weeks — a practical virtue for farmhouse baking. **Baking instructions missing from all versions:** All three versions end at the mixing stage; baking was assumed knowledge. Baking details inferred from standard period Hermit recipes. **"All kinds of spice" (Version 1):** Deliberately vague — Version 3 gives the likely intended blend: cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Recommended starting point: 1/2–1 tsp each. Allspice and ginger are also period-appropriate additions. **Flour missing from Versions 1 and 2:** Neither version specifies flour quantity. Estimated from fat/sugar/egg ratios: approximately 2–2 1/2 cups for Versions 1 and 2 (drop cookies); approximately 4–5 cups for Version 3 (rolled cookie). **Version 2 is a fragment:** Original card instructions end after "Cream sugar and shortening together" — all subsequent steps inferred from Versions 1 and 3. Spices and flour entirely absent from original. Flag as significantly incomplete. **"Sour milk" (Versions 2 and 3):** Period term for naturally soured whole milk, similar to buttermilk. Modern substitution: add 1 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice per cup of whole milk and let stand 5 minutes. **Version 3 has duplicate nutmeg:** Original card lists nutmeg twice (likely a transcription error on the card itself). One tsp nutmeg intended. **Drop vs. rolled:** Versions 1 and 2 are soft drop cookies; Version 3 is the older, more traditional rolled-and-cut style. The three versions together suggest the recipe evolved in this household from rolled to drop over time, or reflect different sources. **Three versions on one card:** Unusual and archivally significant — suggests the contributor was actively comparing or consolidating recipes rather than copying a single trusted source.

I’ve captured the handwritten and typed recipes along with a small few of the printed cards. This collection really runs the gamut from doughnuts to cocktails with lots of casseroles and baked goods. There are a few in here that I’ll definitely be trying out. Though, while it’s my favorite recipe in the batch, I can’t say that I’m eager to try out 'Welch’s Grape Egg Nog'.
