This is page 2 of a 3-page letter written by the relative of a cousin. (I also hope to post pages 1 and 3).

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.

If we already had our diploma, maybe we could move out.
I don't yet know what that will be like. In any case , dear Julia, beso good and write me your
address from America. I hope you won't be angry with me for this, but these days it's very good
if everyone has someone they can turn to.
I have just been to see Mr. Rab. Fleischmann (?).He sends you his best regards.
he asks you, if you really like the Pressburger(?) Jews so much to work for them and bring them to New-York. If you are doing very well, you should write to him. Think of what he said to me: “That Julia that's a person I would like to have as a daughter-in-law”. I am writing it to you especially on Netty's advice, who said that I should definitely write it to you. You would be very happy with that.
Another piece of news. Today, Wednesday morning, Mrs. Woltitz(?) gave birth to a boy. The seventh, uncalled. I don't know anything else. I would just like to write to in private.

Best regards
