Amanuensis Monday: Post Office Inspectors - St. Louis Division - Feb 6, 1935

Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.

Back on July 5, I posted a copy of the below photograph as an 'occupational photograph' of my maternal grandparents, who both worked at the St. Louis Post Office. I have transcribed the names below from a piece of paper that was taped to a piece of cardboard backing I believe was originally part of a frame. The photograph and cardboard removed from the frame, had been stored together.

Despite the usage of initials hiding the majority of the given names, perhaps someone searching for information on a relative may find this photograph. (If you have, feel free to contact me at the address in the upper left, and I would be glad to email an even larger version of the image.)

Since I have several letters (such as this one) between my grandfather, Martin J Deutsch, and Chief Inspector K.P. Aldrich, and Inspector in Charge W.L. Noah, it's nice to be able to see what they looked like as well.
