Under Upper Middle Class, the writer describes Jews and Germans through opposed stereotypes of kindness and toughness or gossip and shiftiness.

The writer offers these group judgments without examples or explanation. The transcription omits an unresolved word before Upper Middle Class.

Under a cursive heading ending 'Upper Middle Class' (its first word is not securely legible), the writer notes 'Jews & Germans - Either / kind & tough, or gossipie / and shifty'.

The note sorts two groups into a blunt either-or of virtues and vices, the kind of neighborhood generalization the notebook records as raw social material rather than argues for. The writer's spelling 'gossipie' is kept, and the fluent cursive differs from the printed hand of nearby pages.
