Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.
1 has been to Seattle Wash 1892. He is going to join cousin R.E. Jordan.
2 There are 2 dashes entered in the Married or Single column. Ditto marks
are used in other instances so it seems unlikely that ditto is meant.
He has been to Seattle Wash 1893.
3 has been to San Francisco July 1893
9 surname final "w" is probably a phonetic writing.
11 surname final "w" is probably a phonetic writing.
