Was troubled to find that we had exceeded this week's ration of a of the jarr by 1/16th. leaving but 11/16ths for the rest of the month instedde of 12/16ths. Soe I did meticulously measure out these 11/16ths into 3 exactly equall parts and mark them in blue pencil on the jarr's paper-labell Then, upon further consideration, I went on to subdivide each of these equall parts. by @ and to pencil the subdivisionns also. on, the" labell accordingly: this ip order to ensuring ing. rather slappdash helper of herself to; t-spreads, though not (to do her justice With any consciously unjust intentions.
