Dear Zwi, עמו"ש

I have been wanting to write to you for a long time, and now at last I am actually doing it.  My first duty – no, pleasure – is to congratulate you on passing your metric.  You can imagine how pleased we all were to hear of your success.  I am quite well, and I am getting on alright at school.  We’re just in the middle of doing our half-year examinations, so I am quite busy preparing for them.

Chaim Sara and Ruthy were staying with us for one week-end on Channukah, we all had a very nice time.  Ruthy is ב"ה very sweet – she says ‘da-da’ and a few other words like that, she has got four teeth already, and walks about, with holding on.  Well, that’s all for now.

All my Love,

Esti

 

Just adding a line to tell you that I’m expecting a letter from you.  I hope it is on the way.  Keep well and look after yourself.
