Interpreting WWI Draft Registration Card Info

Question

The source is listed near the bottom with a link to the record where the image can be viewed.

Most of the image for the WWI Draft Registration Card is clear; however, I cannot interpret the Nearest Relative Information other than that it is a sister with the last name Faw.

I am not sure which letters the first name are or whether it is a nickname or sloppy cursive or shorthand cursive that I don't understand. Can anyone assist in an interpretation?

I'd try to help, but I can't view it.  Hopefully someone else will come along soonish and be able to decipher what you need.

I just saw this record. I believe it fits into my narrative about William Jonathan Faw, which I asked earlier.

Thanks so much!
