Hello - This is the first page of a 3 page letter. I'm pretty sure it's Yiddish, not Hebrew. We do not know who the letter is from or who it's to, nor do we know when it was written. But it was found with a group of other letters from cousins of the Trotzky family in Lithuania in the 1920's and 1930's. This may be another one of those, or it may be something else entirely. If there are any particular clues about names, dates, locations or relationships, I would be particularly interested in that. I will post the other two pages as well. Thank you in advance!
