This is one of five pages that I am posting, taken from various letters written by the relative of a cousin.

I would greatly appreciate a translation of whatever can be read.

I apologize for the poor quality of the scans, and for the condition of some of the pages, including those that have pieces missing and have tears across the middle. Whatever you can make out will be very helpful.

There may be some sprinklings of Hebrew. Please just ignore those.

Thank you in advance.

(hebrew)
Liebste Julia!
Deinen l. [lieben] Brief habe ich mit grosser Freude
erhalten. Erstens einmal (hebrew) für Deine Stelle.
Fein dass Du endlich eine hast. Ich habe mei-
ne bereits aufgegeben, da ich jetzt (hebrew) genug
zu Hause Privatarbeit habe. Auch ist es viel
besser so! (Was Deine Meinung darüber ist weiss
ich zwar nicht). Nämlich in der Werkstatt
sind, wie ich Dir glaube ich schon schrieb
verschiedene Leute, die einen verlachen und die
über alles ......spotten. So sagte z.B, [zum Beispiel] eine
(hebrew), die erst 14 Jahre alt ist, an Gtt
glaube ich, aber die (hebrew) ist von den
Rebbelach verfasst u. die haben geschrie-
ben, was ihnen ihr blöder Kopf diktierte,
...... wird da selbstverständlich gegessen.
Sie sagte „Als die Rebbelach das schrieben
waren die Schweine krank u. deshalb
haben sie das, wie alle anderen ... Gesetze
verboten. Ich könnte den ganzen Brief
vollschreiben mit solchen Dingen, ...
Wann(?) hast Du das Bild Deiner Nichte geschickt?
Nicht wahr für Nety(?) !

Hello Fredel,
here is the next text.
I sincerely hope it will help.
The others will follow in the next few days.
Best regards
Gelwine
