It's Yןddish.
I can't make out most of the text in the first few lines, but I do see Ester spelled phonetically. And possilby, before that, a phonetically spelled Khaim.

If there's a date in those lines, I can't see it or identify it.
Neither of names in your request appear in this text. All the "you"s are plural

"You should know that we are all thank God well with God's help for you there and for us here we should have a good agreement with each other[,] we will send you postcards and you will send postcards from you [then] we'll send you another postcard
stay well and happy with the Lord's help [the abbreviation ב"ה]
