I'm sending this on behalf of a w0mbat who is having difficulties
subscribing and posting.
Greetings!
I'm a former Womb*t who had to leave the list shortly before its
reincarnation, due to major spam problems. I'm back, on a personal
account, and my first question is for myself (and my mother).
I have a letter from 1948, hand-written in Yiddish to my
great-grandfather from his half-brother in Argentina. My older relatives
who
speak Yiddish cannot read it (at least, not in script)
The letter is fairly short. A scanned image of it is online at:

It probably contains no earth-shaking family secrets, but my mom and
I would both be very grateful if someone could unlock the meaning.
