In the Married or Single column "or Single" has been crossed out.

 Whether ever in Prison, Almshouse or supported by Charity=no
 Whether a Polygamist=no
 Whether under contract to labor in the US=no
 Condition of Health Mental and Physical=good
 Whether having any deformities=no

Letters that are illegible or difficult to interpret are replaced by ?.

Passenger Notes:
 5    Occupation is "join her husband."  She is going to join T Wehara
      731 1/2 O'Farrell St SF.  It appears that the W of Wehara has been crossed
      out.  Written above it is a word that could be Uue or Une so perhaps the
      husband's name is Unehara.
 8    has been to San Fran once June 1895.
11    name is "his wife Maria Payne."
12    name is "their daughter Amale  Payne."
11-12 Nationality is "born Hawaiian."
10-12 final Destination is written on three lines, Guan, Spanish Colonies, South 
      America,as transcribed.  That it is one entry is indicated by brackets.  
      There is a Guanare, Venezuela that could be the final destination.  They 
      have no tickets to final destination.
