The handwriting is cursive. There are 11 lines of text. The text is organized into columns. The top line starts with "1." The second line starts with "1." The third line starts with "1." The fourth line starts with "6." The fifth line contains mostly numbers. The sixth line contains a date and appears to be a signature. The bottom half of the page is blank except for small black marks. A small black dot is in the upper-left corner. The background is plain white paper.
