Attached is 5/6 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.

закона, то я констатирую факт, что ты меня поставила вне закона и у меня сомнения на этот счет уже не существует и к этой мысли ты меня настолько приучила, что начинаю думать, что я больше этого и не стою, что такая разумная женщина как ты (в нормальных условиях) считаешь, что я как муж не достоин ни любви ни уважения - следовательно есть во мне что-то такое отталкивающее, что я сам, как ты выражаешься, не замечаю, хотя я всегда поддаюсь исправлению, - но пока факт на лицо. 13 лет и я у тебя не добился минимума. Я так трезво об этом говорю чтоб тебя не огорчать и хочу чтоб ты пришла не к тем обычным не правильным выводам твоим; а правильный вывод - выздороветь физически и духовно, желать жить и дать мне возможность немного лет прожить с тобой нормально по человечески, вот что требуется для твоего благополучия я готов всегда делать и у меня нет никаких искусственных форм а все от глубины души надо только чтоб ты захотела верить этому, хочу только сказать, что больше доказательств у меня нет, а остальное хранится в тайниках моей мещанской души.
