Notes

Documentary annotation: [small undeciphered mark or paraph at upper left]
Several personal account names and the signature remain qualified. The short qualifier before Effets is uncertain; the instruction to pay the bills subject to review of the endorsement is legible. The signed payment order is not assigned to another scanned group without positive evidence.
