This is a letter that my great-grandfather Jeshaia London wrote from Palestine in June 1924 to his wife Ziporah’s first-cousin Mordechai Josef (Max) Green in Perth, Western Australia. I assume it is about the fact that Jeshaia & Ziporah were planning to emigrate to Perth with their children (Ahuva/Lily, Chasya/Hemda and Huskel). Indeed, they arrived in Perth in December 1924.

I would be grateful if someone could translate it in full. Thanks so much!
