Response

The letter is addressed to "Dear sister Ida and brother in law Max" and it's signed by "Sh. Yablonowits"
Summary of both pages:

The writer happy to have to received their letter. The sister has a husband and children, and if I'm not mistaken, the writer is very happy to have finally found his sister so that they can "talk in writing", and "not only my sister but her husband and children". Overjoyed that she is happy with her family and that "business is "all right" as they say in America". ["all right" written phonetically] One thing does make him/her unhappy - that she writes she's not in the best of health. And s/he wants to know what's wrong.

The writer's own business is not going too well, and he [I assume it's a male - there were few women running their own businesses in those days.] sees no expected improvement in the future and therefore stands firm by his decision to travel to America. Thanks them for writing that they will ---- send the papers from New York and he hopes that Clara too will manage that difficult task.

Letter ends with various good wishes for the New [Jewish] Year.
