However, considering the heat of the climate, I did not doubt but if I could find out any clay, I might make some pots that might, being dried in the sun, be hard enough and strong enough to bear handling, and to hold anything that was dry, and required to be kept so; and as this was necessary in the preparing corn, meal, &c., which was the thing I was doing, I resolved to make some as large as I could, and fit only to stand like jars, to hold what should be put into them.
Mas, teniendo en cuenta que el clima era caluroso, no dudaba que, si podía encontrar un buen barro, podría fabricar algún cacharro que, secado al sol, fuera lo suficientemente fuerte para manejarlo y conservar en su interior cualquier cosa que quisiera preservar de la humedad. Como necesitaba algunos cacharros de este tipo para el grano y la harina, que era lo que me preocupaba en ese momento, decidí hacerlos tan grandes como pudiera, a fin de que sirvieran exclusivamente como tarros para conservar lo que guardara en ellos.
