The Yiddish is written from one woman who mentions her husband, to another who has a husband and children she wishes that they will live happily forever together with the ----- [Russian word that sounds like "simuistve"]

Before that: A trip to America is mentioned. Something about 4000 Rubles and things being difficult.
