Line 23, which is a heading, has an expansion for an inexplicable marking on the opposite side of the page from "To Prevent." The trancriber expanded d, which I see, but also added "itt." The letter next to the D appears to me to be an "o" and I cannot find a correct abbreviation for this letter that would make sense.

Do is an abbreviation for ditto - an instruction to repeat the above information, in this case almost certainly the attribution of the recipe to Mrs. Williams. The transcription is correct, but the usage is not a common one. When it is used in modern texts it will usually be a '' mark under the previous information.
