Transcription Notes:
I think #4 may be "Bernstein" (letter left out) or "Berstein", a name that's come up a few other places in the diary.--M
Luks (#6)comes up here and there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Luks
Capital G often looks like an E, as in Garber here.--M
His "e" often looks like either an "s" or a "z", like in the word "veal" above.--thomasc
