Attached is 1/2 pages of a letter sent by my great-grandfather Dr. Abram Riskin to my great-grandmother Bronia Riskin-Levin. The page notes in Hebrew the settlements of Nahalal and, perhaps, Tel Yoseph. I recall Abram attempting to be employed as a doctor in Nahalal.

I would appreciate your assistance in the translation of the letter. Thank you.

Дорогой Брончик!
Посылаю тебе 4 газеты и пару слов своих и Мерочки. Мерка поедет со школой завтра в [?] — [?], вообще она ведёт себя хорошо — поэтому не хочу лишать её этого удовольствия.
Не знаю, как быть с её ртом; Мерка предлагает подождать до каникул, и тогда она свободно сможет поехать в Тель Авив. Я всё же думаю на будущей неделе это провести в жизнь, пока нового ничего нет, в доме всё благополучно и спокойно.
Я уже тебе писал о том, что всё может передать через шофёра, а я каждый день посещаю контору автомобильную.

Dear Bronchik!
I’m sending you 4 newspapers and a couple of words from me and Merochka. Morka will go with the school tomorrow to [?] — [?]; generally, she’s behaving well — so I don’t want to deprive her of this pleasure. I don’t know what to do about her mouth; Morka suggests waiting until the holidays, and then she’ll be free to go to Tel Aviv. I’m still thinking of putting this into practice next week; for now, there’s nothing new, and everything in the house is fine and calm.
I’ve already written to you that everything can be delivered through the driver, and I visit the car office every day.
