I still don't know what kind of contract is mentioned in the margin notes, but the word I couldn't read in the next-to-last line is "adoptirt" - adopted. This was explained in a subsequent entry that I just translated for you. The language used there, and the word adopted here, seems to indicate that Läuger was not the biological father, but took responsibility for the child anyway.
