Attached is 1/2 pages of a letter found in the letter collection of my great grandmother Bronya Riskin (nee Levin). Unlike with most other letters in the collection, I am unsure whether it was written by Bronya or to her, and it does not seem to end in a clear, organised manner. I presume it may have been written by her to Icik Krieger and was then returned to her. I would appreciate your assistance in translation. Thank you.

Дорогие!

Вот уже 11 дней, как я нахожусь здесь и время приезда домой приближается.
Пишу это письмецо, т.к. просто есть возможность переслать через брата мужа Ривы Левако, который живет рядом, около нас, я попросил его просто зайти в парадный ход и бросить в ящик (почтовый ящик).
Новостей у меня нет, недавно послала вам письмо, которое вы наверное получили, где пишу, что поправилась на 1 1/2 kilo ( на 1,5 килограмма). Как пойдет дальше я не знаю, т.к. в первую неделю принимают больше, чем в последующие. Чувствую
========================
себя хорошо, и ничего не болит. В общем, здесь совсем не плохо, только если бы не стоило так много денег. Пища здесь не особенная, очень повторяется, но кушаем, так как вокруг тебя сидят все и стараются как можно больше впереть в себя, невольно заражаешься и забываешь о плохом аппетите. Я здесь уже свой человек. Приеду так уже расскажу подробно. Имела от Павлика письмо, в котором он пишет, что говорил с Давидом и тот обещает всё время, если не у Мола так что-нибудь другое, а пока нужно ждать. Как настроение у папы? Что слышно вообще?
