Attached is 3/6 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.

поехать, но ты предупредила меня своим P.S."не беспокоиться, и с тобой трудно лавировать и понять что тебе хочется тогда как ты сама не вполне ориентируешься в своих желаниях, и поэтому я жду твоего выздоровления, без твоего приглашения не приеду, надеюсь, что твое большое самолюбие не разрешит тебе решиться на такой резкий для тебя шаг пригласить меня, но если это нужно для твоего благополучия, я на все готов. Сильную боль и оскорбление я испытал во время чтения письма твоего - но я не плачу как раньше, а перехожу к порядку дня. Марка здорова, мама и папа шлют тебе привет, я никому не передам о том, что ты не здорова, но ты немедленно ответь мне. Я тебе пошлю 2 книги, ты заплатишь 1 писать, а когда передаешь то же передай прямо шоферу и скажи ему, что я заплачу 1 писать, а так он взял 2 1/2 пиастра, а это много, хоть это и мелочь. Твоя задача сейчас выздороветь и поправиться и помни это. Сердечный привет Ару Штернбергу. Будь здорова. Целую. См. на обороте.
