Attached is 1/4 pages of a letter sent by my great-grandfather Dr. Abram Riskin to my great-grandmother Bronya Levin-Riskin. The letter was sent to the Safed hotel of the Maiberg family, where Bronya would stay at times of illness. The page notes "Haifa" in Hebrew at the beginning. Would like to receive assistance in translation. Thank you; shana tova!

Дорогой Брончик!
Вчера в 12 часов я приехал домой, застал всё и всех в благополучном состоянии, хотел немедленно переменить книжку и написать тебе, но мне срочно нужно было ехать в ….. В 8½ я уже выехал в Иерусалим срочным автомобилем и в 1 ч. ночи вернулся домой, устал сильно, ехал по делу банка, сейчас встал, поел, пошёл, накормил Мерочку, отправили её в школу. Сейчас думаю переменить книжку и отправить её тебе вместе с письмом, вообще передавай всё через шофёра, с которым мы ехали в БДЗ ?.
Как ты спишь без меня и без клопов: нет ли других…

Dear Bronchik!
Yesterday at 12 o’clock I came home, found everything and everyone in good order, wanted to immediately change the book and write to you, but I urgently needed to go to ….. At 8½ I was already on my way to Jerusalem by urgent car and returned home at 1 a.m., I was very tired, I was on business for the bank, now I’ve got up, eaten, gone out, fed Merochka, and sent her to school. Right now I’m thinking of changing the book and sending it to you along with a letter. In general, send everything through the driver we were with on the way to BDZ.
How do you sleep without me and without bedbugs: are there any others…
===================================================
