Monee's Note
written in the early 1940's

The images below are the front and back of a note written in pencil in Cora Blanche Malpass Chandler's handwriting. I believe the occasion for writing it was when her son Ernest went to work for the U.S. Army during World War II and needed a security clearance. See a transcript of the note below.

I wonder if the illegible name could be Frank, Monee's son and Ernest's brother, younger by about 3-1/2 years. Maybe Frank had already gone through this process and had to learn something of the family history.
