	Hi Keith, It is very difficult to read but I think it says passage paid by mother Mrs Rock? going to New York. Relative he is going to is brother, Michael and it looks like surname is Rock. hope this helps. Tricia

	Just to confuse the situation - looks like 'Bridget Town' with something illegible written over it. Am I looking at the right line? No. 24??
