11/11/2013 8:47 AM The first 4 and the last 2 lines are in Hebrew, the rest is in what looks like "daitschmerish", a sort of strongly Germanized Yiddish.

It is addressed to his dear sister and brother-in-law (he doesn't name them) on the birth of their baby son, to whom he sends a 100 kisses.

He signs off as Moishe Wayzen... and the last two lines say twice "mazel tov" and once "amen".

Hope this has helped you.
