*Edited to say I now know the letter is from Mendal and his wife Chashe Lagovier(u). I believe that Chashe (nee Gelberg) is the cousin of the 3 Potashnik sisters mentioned below whose mother is Esther Gelber.

"Greetings to Uncle Efrayim (Alfred Potashnik)he is the father of Feigel Slatkin, Sarah (Alta) Schwartz and Rachel Sanger in New Jersey/New York".

Page 4 of 6 posted several pages from same letter in Russian and Yiddish (written by two people?) I would like to know name and relationships if you can tell. Also who is Zlatkin Isazkson?

The content of the letter is saying how she married a rich man and had 2 houses, now it was taken away from them, and how hard he has to work and how much money they need for living.
