My dear and beloved brothers Tone (Toni?) and Mair (Meir), live happily.
I have not written to you for a long time, my dear ones, we have unfortunately drifted so far apart.
How are you, my dear ones, what are your dear wives and Tone's dear, beautiful daughter doing?
We haven't had a letter from our dear Mulye for 4 months now, we are very upset about it.
Now, my dear ones, I inform you that (xxx I'm not sure of the name), my daughter, has celebrated her wedding with blessing. She has not settled badly and God shall help that we will have a little joy from her. Her husband is a Bialystoker (...), a decent man, God shall help that it will turn out for the best and we will shortly hear something good from our child Mulye.
We are very worried about him, I ask you, dear ones, that you take more interest in him, there must be time for it....
He only should marry too, he is such a miserable one, he only should have his own house already . I ask you, my dears, to calm us down and write.
I don't know the reason why we haven't received a letter from him for so long. Our acquaintances often and regularly get letters, even parcels with things are sent from there. Please, write to us! I sincerely greet your dear wives, I kiss you, my dear, your brother Tovye(?) (Tobias?). My wife and daughter greet you warmly. They also wanted to write, but there is no more free space.
