Passenger Notes:
1  is joining grandmother Mrs Carlotta Donde, Powell and Clay. He is recorded 
   as unable to read and write,
2  There is a tilde over the "n" in this surname.  He has been to San Francisco 
   Mch (& Michigan?)1895.  He is going to join Mother Brandis Peņudas cor. 
   Vallejo & Powell.
3  first name looks very much like Guadelupe but, since passenger is recorded 
   as male, could be Guadelupo.  He has been to San Francisco, perhaps, 1895.  
   The information is recorded by ditto marks and it is difficult to decide 
   what is included in the ditto marks.  He is going to join Mother Linda Morales,
   727 Broadway St. SF.
4-6 are going to join mother Mrs Armendariz cor Stockton & Pacific Sts.
7  Nationality is misspelled.  He has been to San Francisco 1885.  This column 
   also says citizen.
9  is unable to read and write. 
10 passage was paid by Gino Della Morte.  He is going to join Brother of 
   Mrs Della Morte.
13 has been to San Francisco 1885.  The Health column says "not good paralyzed."
