I am looking for a translation from Yiddish to English for this letter written by my great great grandfather Jacob Zelikoff.

This is page 2/2.

Thank you very much!

This is page 1. Dated: 9th March (March is written phonetically, so I assume the writer is an English speaker)
Mentions Rosa (also addressed as Rosinye) and grandchildren. Actually the Yiddish word for "grandchildren" is preceded by the phonetic, "grend" i.e. "grand".

Basically worried that Rose and the children's trip (in English) to come and visit was postponed (or cancelled) asks for the truth more that once, signed by "you worried parents Yaakov Zelikovits and Basse [Bashe?Bessie?] Zelikovits"

Correction: The surname is as you wrote it: Zelikoff

March 6
Dear dear children, Roze, Ben and our dear great grandchildren, live always happy! The Ma and all children are healthy, thanks to God. About me I can write that I would like to be healthier, but if I would write everything in more detail, you would have no pleasure from it, so I better not write about it. Rozina(?), write us honestly, why your trip is so long, write us in detail the news. What is Mashe doing, how is she feeling healthwise, and you Malke(??) and Ben and the children should write us the truth, because we can't sleep for whole nights....

Not "Rozina" but "Rozinye", which is to Rosa like Jimmy is to James....
