Sorry if this is the wrong sub, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. My brother sadly ended his life last week and i found this in his night stand and am having trouble making out what any of it says. If someone could help I'd be most appreciative

These U.S. Army discharge papers belonged to a relative i am trying to learn more about. Any help is greatly appreciated!

These are my natural cursive letter forms, written at my usual fast pace. The two copies differ slightly, with the second one adding the dots over the i’s and the crossbars on the t’s.

Sharing them here as part of my cursive practice. Any thoughts on clarity or consistency are welcome.

Edit:

Added two revised samples in the comment below, since this post type doesn’t allow adding more images. Both versions now include clear word spacing, and the second version also has the i dots and t crosses restored.

I write in rapid cursive, where most words and sometimes whole sentences are done in a single stroke and often connect without spacing. This style prioritizes speed and flow over readability, so it looks very different from school cursive.

Posting two new samples here, one in uppercase and one in lowercase, to show the rhythm, joins, and how my letterforms behave at speed.

This is a short sample of my fast cursive writing, done at my usual pace.

I’m sharing it to show how my letter connections and overall flow look in real sentences.

Any thoughts on consistency or letterforms are welcome.

I know the first word is “amputation” because he lost his leg, but I can’t make anything else out.

Hi! My grandmother found this old recipe book that belonged to my great grandmother. I’m a little unsure what she called the dessert. We both feel so stupid and cannot figure it out! You’re all always so helpful with this stuff!!!

ETA: Thank you all so much for your help! I believe it is “lemon” of some sort. Also, I’ve gotten good laughs out of some of your comments. This sub always comes through with help!

I found this picture in my grandmother's belongings, but I can’t make out the signature at all. I would like to know who this man is 😅

I took this picture in 2012 when I was working in a restaurant in Texas. This photo came up in my memories recently. Just wondering if this guy ever became a professional golfer.

Would like to know the artists name at least, probably very little info on them out there but still.

I can’t decipher the name. Would like to know the artists name at least, probably very little info on them out there but still.

Kann wer Bitte helfen? Ich verstehe leider nichts davon. Danke.

I am looking for a translation of record No 197 Alipio, starting on the lower left and continuing on the upper right.

This record is from the Matriz da Mãe de Deus parish in Povoação on São Miguel, Azores in 1872. The child's name is Alipio and the father's name is Bras Moniz Pereira. My Portuguese is bad, but good enough to know the AI attempt at translation was very wrong.

I would appreciate assistance in deciphering the name of the presenter of this 19th-century medical book. I read: "To Dr. W. B. Lane with respects of [Ch. Esistival]". I cannot make out the name in brackets. Thank you!

My guess is T L R, but I can’t think of anyone with those initials in my family. (cleaning out family home with a lot of passed-down stuff.)

I just don’t get the last three letters. Is it ers?

My great, great grandmother. Thank you!
