This is a card sent by my Grandmother Frieda Kohn in Borschow to my Uncle Harry Rosenblatt in Winnipeg, Canada. My Yiddish is not good enough to translate the card. I would greatly appreciate translation into English or Hebrew. Many thanks.

My dear children! I received your two postcards to which we answered you promptly may you all be healthy and happy Moisheleh with Riftchin [=Rivka =Rebecca] work and earn a living. I sent you a postcard from Triskevitsch that is a health resort where I stayed for four weeks. Mordechai visited me the other week. Write me dear children if you have received a letter from --- because I haven't heard from him almost for almost 2 years. I heard that your mother Tanne[?] had a letter from you. They are all well Yud’l visited me. I would very much want to see your daughter. [Please] inquire if you can send a registered letter with a photo. With us everything is OK. May you all be healthy and strong. Riftche and Moisheleh also send you many greetings and kisses. The Kriftshir [?] family also sends you heartfelt greetings. Mordechai and Leytsi [Leah] send you many kisses. Mordechai has a very dear child. I am your mother Freida. [the name,ד second syllable sounds like the word “eye”]
I'm living by the Epsteins in their apartment which they built up for Scheindel

Comment:
"May you all be etc." is that untranslatable Yiddish expression that starts with "זיי מיר ", in Hebrew: תהיו לי
