What we changed or couldn’t read (4)
- Number of eggs is missing in the source.
- Source reads '4 Tsp. salt'; shown as ¼ tsp. (4 tsp. would be far too much; likely a dropped fraction).
- Source reads '1z Cups chopped dates'; shown as 1½ cups.
- No mixing method is given; cream the butter and sugar, add eggs, then alternate the flour with the soda-buttermilk, and fold in dates and pecans.
