Another small negative from the cigar box. The notes on the envelope read: "Person Emil/No. 85." So apparently the previous photo was Take 2, and by then Emil had lost his cap as well as his patience with the tiresome process of having his picture taken.
This time the photographer managed to get something in focus, if only Emil's shoes. Note how heavily frayed his pants cuffs are — that suit has seen a lot of wear, although it still looks quite respectable.
