The letter in the middle has a lower loop like  the J of Jean beneath. Perhaps "for Jean". It doesn't look like the tail of the writer's y unless there are different writers. I thought I could see day, but I am probably imagining it, sorry, cb

I think it says Edno on the right rather than Edna, but it's probably just bad writing.  I think the writing above Dorothy says Lady Day.
