<metadataxml><transcription>Dearest Children Rukhel and Chanshe,
I am happy to tell you that we are in good health and hope to God to hear the same from you. Dearest children, we received the $10 that you had sent to us as well as the bundle. We thank you very much for that. I can tell you that it helped a lot and kept us alive because the situation here is very bad. Everything is very expensive and the income is very little. God help you to live a long life and we wish you good health and good luck. We don't have any more important news to give you.

I beg of you if you can send me a ticket to the ship for your brother Israel to go the U.S. He is working very hard and he is very good in his profession, and he will be able to earn more money in America. Your sister Esther thanks you very much for your gift.

Your parents, Abraham & Sheindel Stein.

Dearest children,
I can inform you that thank God we are doing well and we hope to hear the same from you. Dearest children, this letter we had to send you in April and after 2 months it came back to us. It was very painful and we were very hurt to receive the letter back without you having received it. We cannot understand why it came back to us. We thank you very much for the wedding thickets, we had a good time with them as you told us to do. God help you and hope he should make you rich, and we congratulate you, dearest children.

Me and mother kiss you and bless you. Our brother in law Shmuel thanks you very much. God help them and bless them. Shmuel and your grandpa send their blessings. God should give you health and good luck. From us, your parents.
