This is a letter written by the relative of a cousin, with a few additions by others.

I would greatly appreciate a translation.

I apologize for the poor quality of the scan.

There may be a few sprinklings of Hebrew. If you do not read Hebrew, please just ignore those.

Thank you in advance.

Dear Judith, [HEBREW]
Since I’m here with our dear Netty I want to be sure and add my best regards. Hopefully you’ll answer my card very very soon, my dear!
Love, kisses and best regards,
Hanna

Dear Judith, [HEBREW]
Such a shame that our planned reunion didn’t happen! Maybe we’ll meet up in America – lots of people are leaving the country. Best regards till our next letter,
Love,
Rachel

Dear Julia, [HEBREW]
Our dear Lea [HEBREW] told me you sent me a letter from Prague. I’m so sorry I never received it since, as I have just learned, it might have been the last letter from Czechoslovakia.
My dear Judith [HEBREW], since I want to leave space for the others, I’ll be brief and wish you all the best, may [HEBREW] richly reward you in your new home for your efforts with us.
Yours,
[Esti?]
