Letters with recipes which are laid in are addressed to Miss Collins, so presumably this cookery manuscripts belonged to her. Some of the recipes are in French. Unique recipes include "Metheglin" and "Drogehda Usquebaugh" (the first a spiced honey wine, the second a spiced brandy, even though usquebaugh means whiskey in Irish). Starting from the back are household and medicinal recipes, including "Sweet Pot" (pot pourri), "To Cure Fits," and "Paste for the Teeth."
