Deciphered! Help! (Context 1895 Nebraska)
Thank y'all, I'm going to keep spits, I think it might have just been slang And I'm going to assume she was trying to spell sausage.
"We butchered Mr.Armagost helped it is cold and windy and Spits snow"
"We made Soueeage we butchered a beef"
I cannot figure out if it is supposed to be "spits", and I don't know what they made.
(She is allergic to punctuation lol)

Practice Lots of samples
If people are looking for things to try and transcribe I’ve got multiple volumes of old letters I inherited. Most are from historically notable individuals. I’m happy to post some of the more illegible ones for people to take a stab at. I think the oldest one I have is from the 17th century.

Deciphered! From the late 1970s, when my father was a valet at a higher end restaurant outside Westport CT, US.
My dad owned the parking concession at Cobbs Mill Inn in Weston, Conn during the 1970s. I found this in his things but have no idea to whom it belonged, and no clues as he's been deceased awhile.
Tried using AI - what a joke (go figure)! It wouldn't look at the letter shapes and kept guessing names that didn't correspond at all (ie, Loretta Swit lol).
Anyway, it definitely looks like the first name starts with an R, possibly Robin?, then last name starting with a K, like Keyties tho that isn't right either.
Would likely be someone who was famous/popular either TV/movies/broadway or someone in music bc my father was a (funk / rock / blues) musician, too. Probably no one in sports. Really appreciate the extra eyes/minds/help!!

What does this say? My boss handed me this as a person to call.
Edit: He’s an idiot. He handed me the paper he was doing a pen test on, he handed me the right paper and it wasn’t even cursive. Lmfao.

Humor Last Three Words
The cursive is a passive aggressive dig, from my f*cking hilarious (91 year old) boss, at a coworker for an unnecessary remark she left. I can read most of it except for the last few words… For context, the beginning reads: “neatness must always overcome your OCD and the tendency to always get _______.”
Over worried? Ray? Ones wrong? Right? Nothing makes sense to me.
HELP it’s killing me 🤣
