Hi Jaime,
You title this post emigration but my gut reaction is that this isn’t an emigration or an immigration record. I believe that it is Ignacy Dziodziola sending money “home” to Poland to Katarzyna Dziodziola.

A quick Google AI overview in response to "Cunard money orders from immigrants" showed:
Historical Cunard money orders were financial instruments issued by the Cunard Line, allowing immigrants in the U.S. to securely transfer funds to family members in their home countries. This service provided a reliable alternative to mailing cash, operating alongside the company's established travel and traveler's cheque operations.

That said, there is always a chance that there also was a ticket purchased separately and this was additional spending money.

What I found interesting is the detailed information regarding Katarzyna address in 1925!

There was a similar receipt that sold on scripophily.net a paper collectible site (search scripophily cunard money order)

You asked about how you can trace this receipt. What specifically are you trying to trace?
