22 August 84 Vancouver
Simah, shalom
It has been a long time since we heard from you. We are staying now at our daughter's in Canada Vancouver, it has been already over a week. We were very tired because we had a very bad trip; we were traveling for 2 days. (endless). If everything goes all right we shall stay for 3 months.
We don't plan to go to Los Angeles but it is possible that we shall make a trip by bus to the direction of San Francisco. We would like to meet you, perhaps we can meet in San Francisco on the 15 September, and we'll stay there 3 nights with God help. That is our plan; we won't drag ourselves further.
I understand that you have a lot of problems with Hershlen. How do you manage with so many troubles? I will be thankful if you would send me a few words, I want very much to hear how things are with you.
I regret to let you know that next March will be a year since my brother died suddenly from a heart attack in 5 minutes. Mikhlen is in a deep grief and she is absolutely broken.
What are doing your sister-in-law and Leible? How are Levanoni and Notah and her aunt Julia? Do you hear anything from Sidney? Send them all my cordially wishes and wish them on our behalf a happy new year.
And you Simah ! we wish you to have much naches this year
with your children, and a complete recovery to your husband and daughter.
I finish my writing and I am waiting for your answer.
