If you would prefer, I can have each page scanned seperately. I expect that this letter is written by Mendel Mishkovich to his sister Sadie Levine. Triplets were Sadie, Aisik (Isaac), and Mendal born 1886 Mogilev, Belarus.Mendel was the only one who stayed in Russia.next, I will upload the envelope.

My dear sister Bluma and brother-in-law. Dear sister it's quite long that I haven’t receive a letter from you, it makes me very anxious. I can't write much and there isn't much to write as I have already written enough. I can only tell you that I'm thanks God well and I work. from my son I receive often letters. He is too thanks God well. From our sisters Chavariva and Shifra I also get letters, Chavariva is already 78 years old she is still quite active. My dear sister send my regards to your sons, I know one is home already and the second, the same send my regards to Isaac's children and the same to my dear nice Raizel. I wrote you a letter for Rosh Hashana. This letter I'm writing you before Rosh Hashana but you will receive it after Rosh Hashana. But I still wish you and your husband and your dear children and all relatives a good happy new year. Your brother brother-in-law and uncle Mendel

My dear sister Bluma and brother-in-law! Dear sister! It's quite long that you haven't written to me. You should know that a letter goes over six months the same from me to you. Don’t wait for my letter and write. Send by air-mail it's faster. The whole time I received two letters, the last letter from Rosh Hashana. Write to me if your sons have returned home from the war the same about Isaac's children. It more that half a year that I don't have any update about you. From Raizel neither. I can tell you a happy thing. Our sister Chavariva and all children and grandchildren are alive and well. One son-in-law the husband of the youngest daughter died in the war. He left a son of six years old. The whole misfortune is for Shifra she lost two daughters two sons-in-law and four grandchildren. Shlomo is long gone. I am by myself. This time my only son is coming to me for vacation. I live with hope to see your good letter. Send my regards to Raizel, Berel, Shimon, Isaac's children and our relatives. Your brother Mendel
