COMPLETE - Destination?
« on: Thursday 05 January 17 14:46 GMT (UK) »
Having a hard time trying to read what the destination on the border crossing form says.  I am pretty sure it starts off with "Mr. McDonald..." but I can't quite understand the rest.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sarah

It seems to say -

Mr McDonald Cataract House Employment Niag(ara) Falls NY , with "accept" written above.

But what it means is a bit of a mystery to me, unless it is simply that his destination is Mr M's place at Cataract House where he has accepted employment at Niagara Falls.
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex
