Readable scraps mention butter, flour, and chill hints for sauces and pastry. Included are kitchen tasks like browning steak, cabbage salad, and a plan for cleaning glass globes with ammonia and soap. Also references a jaleg fruit punch, pantry organization, and a weathered note on butter storage.
Reports from Washington indicate a radical redesign of the fleet’s major vessels. The sixteen ships on the world voyage will be remodeled to resemble barges with minimal upper decks and a single main white canvas for heightening, while removing armor and fighting components to improve stability and buoyancy.
