Letter from Meish Rubin: (In the middle, out of context)

I have waited for the post to take delivery myself.

I greet heartily my dear mother-in-law, the chaste and modest Neche, and my brother-in-law, Moishe Schochet, and his wife, my sister, and their children, and also my brother-in-law, Menachem Mendel Morris, and my sister-in-law, Chana Reza, and my brother, shalom to you all. May the Lord of Peace grant us good news from you. I must shorten my writing even if you think this is too little. I have exceeded my limits in my letters and I was afraid that I would say too much. Therefore, I will end. Keep well, may you all live in happiness as is the wish of your dear son-in-law, Tuvye Kretzmar
