some of this line can be seen to read: "Race of people is to be determined

of races will be found on back of this sheet."

13) By whom was Passage Paid
14) Whether in acquisition of $50, and if not, how much?
15) Whether ever before in the United States, and if so when and where. Three

column headed "Where".
16) Whether going to join a relative or friend; and if so what relative or
