My very dear uncle!!!
Your letter and those from my dear sisters have we all received in the best health; and hope that you may receive this rules also in the best situation. Although I have read that you has been indisposed; which displeased me much, and wish you at the same time that you are repaired again.
Now me dear uncle I will also congratulate you with your anniversary (although I am not in your presence) My wish is than that the Almighty heavenly Father preserve you yet many years for misfortune; but that He give you a series of happy days Hebrew. I thank you also heartily that you give many a pleasure to me sisters; they are very content till here I hope it will be also in the continuation. I pray you to take farther care for them; be thou their father and their conductor upon all their ways. We have here no winter this year, it has no fusen, so that we have not skated.
P. S. That the cheese is to your taste does me a great joy; eat then with a good appetite. Farewell and think on me.

If my sisters send us their portraits in the spring I beg you to send it also from you; you shall well think they have it already from me; but I would have it very willingly for me alone, I hope that you shall not fail. Also I pray thee to write me this time also any rules, If you cannot write a great letter do than me the pleasure to write a little, I shall content with a few words from thee. Now me dear uncle life happy in the future kiss my sisters for me; and after having saluted, you and having kissed thee in my thoughts I am with the most respect
Your affectionate niece till in eternity
Jeannette Elkus.
