Transcription Notes:
I am struggling with the last name and the closing on this document. Christine. Christine, there are two things that work... 1. go to https://sova.si.edu/record/NMAAHC.FB.M1913 and check to see if you can find a name on this roster of employees. 2. Go back a film (sometimes two or three) to see if the clerk at the time wrote it more clearly. As far as all the abbreviations, they are military ranks, and sections (ex. V.R.C. = Veteran Reserve Corps)
