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.
