written in English only there are still some words or expressions I don't know [literally: "that I lack"] that I can't ---- from[?] the letter.
Be healthy and live happily[,] as your loyal brother and brother in law Shmaryahu ---vits wishes you.

I [send] heartfelt greeting to the kids and kiss them from my heart. My kids greet you from their heart. I hope to receive a letter from you before I leave.

[different handwriting]
I [send] heartfelt greetings to my beloved sister in law and brother in law and kids may they live and greatly thank for the money. With God's help we'll return the money as soon as possible. I wish you all the best Fanny.

[Comments]
a) Fanny clearly comes from a German speaking an writing background, she even puts an umlaut above the Yiddish written German word "möglich" (possible). This is not singular to her.
b) in Yiddish (and German) "heartfelt" can be an adverb as well as an adjective. They are all greeting "heartfeltly".
