--------------------------
The first image I described (at 5:59 today) is for your Katie. The information has a line through it which makes it difficult to read. Her age could actually be 19, rather than 10, which would make sense, since she had a job. She is going to visit her aunt. Looks like: Mrs. Davitt, 663 10 or 20th Avenue, New York, N.Y.
She was 5'4", fair, fair, blue. Born in Ireland, Roscommon(?).
