What-ever makes you happy...he also wrote home to his family in Kenya and told them he had married a woman named Anna Toot and was working for an oil company. We can’t remove the cross-out so your observation is a valid as any.
He may have written the name of the wife from whom he later explained he was separated, who was living in the Philippines.
It doesn’t make me happy or sad, I am simply examining the evidence.
It could be an H or an N or a K or any similar character.
The fact is, he had a wife in 1961 whose name began with a K.
