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

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.

Firstly, I must send you the warmest greetings from my dear aunts. My dear parents, especially
my dear father, wish you all the best for your future. My dad sends his best regards to your father (hebrew) in an unknown way. The dear children are (hebrew) healthy. Papa is as cute as you can imagine. I don't think I have to write to you about what concerns me personally. Just the one:
Please write me a little from time to time (hebrew). I can reallly use it urgently. I can and will not ask you for more today. I wish you only one thing
(hebrew..................................)
Dearest Julia now over for today. Allow
to kiss you goodbye at least from afar (hebrew)
Your Lea

What a touching letter!
Best regards
Gelwine Ropelius
