WAGER LOG (PARTIAL)

Sept 14 — R.O. — $15 on #7 — PAID
Sept 21 — W.H. — $200 on #3 — HELD (see note)
Sept 21 — Unknown — $75 — VOID, no ticket
Sept 28 — J.C. — $60 on #3 — PAID

Note, different hand — W.H. wants his money back on the #3 bet, says the horse "wasn't right that day." Told him nothing's wrong with her. Told him to drop it.

COMPOUND TRIAL NOTES (FAILED BATCHES)

Batch 1 — no visible effect. Discarded.

Batch 2 — she wouldn't eat for two days after. Discarded.

Batch 3 — tremors, resolved by morning. Kept notes, discarded formula.

Batch 4 — see feed logs. Not discarded.

Margin note, cramped handwriting — Can't keep doing this here. Too many people asking questions on the property. Started taking the ledgers to the garden behind the church on quiet mornings — nobody bothers you during meditation hour. Better place to think than this house ever was.

Recovered from Higginbotham family papers. Additional pages missing.
