AI Interpretation
Under Last American City Names, the writer lists figures including Animal The Third, the White Fox, Jiven Joe and the Prankster, with a separate handwritten group under Tijuana and further names associated with El Paso.
The writer adds names beside and below the typed list and cancels other entries. The placement does not establish that each handwritten name replaces a particular typed character.
Under the typed heading 'Last American City Names', the page lists a cast in two columns: typed names such as 'Stavrogin Bosh', 'Michael O'Neill', 'Animal The Third', 'Jiven Joe', 'Baby Huey' and 'The Prankster', and handwritten names including 'Annie Aims', 'Levi Kingston', 'Tina & Bobby' and 'Jackie Hamerstiene & Charleane'.
The page works as a roster for a planned book, naming characters before scenes are written. Several handwritten spellings and the surname in the first typed name remain provisional, and the list does not say which names belong together.
