Attached is 1/6 pages of a 1934 letter sent by my great-grandfather Abram (Abrasha) Riskin, from Haifa, to my great-grandmother Bronya Levin, who may have been traveling in Europe with their daughter, Miryam Riskin. I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the letter. Thank you.

Дорогой Брончик! Недаром я беспокоился сегодня и 2 раза был у ст.автобусов отправил тебе 4 части и письмецо, а теперь получил твое письмо, искал я прежде всего сведений о твоем благополучии и к великому сожалению не нашел, твоя болезнь есть результат необдуманно но твоего поведения за последнее время, и вообще это одно из конец в длинной цепи нашей семейной жизни. За все время нашей совместной жизни я еще не помню других писем, кроме тех, какие я получил сейчас, один тон, и один и тот же дух одна и та же субъективность, а главное односторонность в оценке событий касающихся моей персоны, забывая при этом, что каждый человек обязан оценивать правильно и главное объективно свое личное поведение и если бы не сейчас конечно а вполне здоровом состоянии захотела бы заняться этим вопросом, то не пришла к заключению о том, что все что я говорю - то грубо - местечко во и т.д. и т.п. Я исключительно огорчен тому, что мое письмо застало тебя в таком слабом состоянии здоровья, но это уже мой удел - я долго воздержтваюсь от выражения своих желаний, а когда решаюсь выполнить
