To my loveable grandchildren and their dear parents,
Nechemia dear, you seem to have forgotten your grandpa and grandma. You don't
come to see us, you don't write to us. You have promised your grandma that you
will write to her to come to visit you. She has been waiting a long time.
Dear Nechemia, I'm sending you a present - a sidur [daily prayer book]. Do pray
with it well. Write to me when you have mastered the prayers and I will send you
the 5 books of the chumash [the Old Testament]. May you be well and study from
them. For little Moishele I'm sending sweets. The sidur is now being printed.
God willing, maybe I will have the privilege of giving it to
you personally. May your parents bring you up to torah, chuppah [the Jewish
wedding canopy] and good deeds.
Nechemia do come for a short visit. You will go with Nison into the fields to
collect flowers and then you will return and take Buba [grandmother] with you. Sure, sure you are going to come. But of course, it is all a dream. Be well in
Australia. Please God your father should do well in business and be in a
position to give you a good education.
Best wishes to you all,
Ze'ev Kayman
There is little I can report about us. We did not have anything before and
there is nothing now... We are well. I liquidated my business and intend after
the holydays to go away for a vacation, provided the weather gets a bit warmer.
So far it is still cool and I'm not sure where it would be warmer.
Dear Eliezer, why do you write so sparingly? It takes about 10 weeks between one
letter and the next. Write more about how you are doing. Are you at least in
good health and do you make a living? Feiga suggested a cheap holiday but the
weather is still too cool. No other news. The currency can be stretched out.
All the best to you all.
