This is a PART 6 of a letter that was sent from a woman in Bialystok - possibly a non-Jew who formerly worked for her family - to Fania, a relative of mine who escaped during the war. I have also uploaded the other parts. I'm researching the Bialystok branch of my family and would love to find out what it says.

================
Говорите про Юрка своего — то буду кушать, ведь ты, Беленька , была моя любимица. А Гутя говорила: когда буду замуж выходить, то Оля приедет на мою свадьбу, торт печь. А теперь уехали за свет. Я посмотрела на карте: ах, как далеко! Ну, пока хватит. В другой раз… От тестя я не достала ещё письма, он не живёт с Вами? Привет от моего мужа, сына (хотя не знаете), а я шлю Вам, мои дорогие, свои наилучшие пожелания. Пишите, я буду Вам писать, может, ещё что узнаю от евреев. Фотографию постараюсь прислать свою. Пришлите мне свою фотографию — я хотя посмотрю, как Вы выглядываете. До свидания, будьте здоровы. Оля Пелеш.
==============
Talk about your Yurka — I’ll be eating, because you, Belenka, were my favorite. And Guta said: when I get married, Olya will come to my wedding and bake a cake. And now they’ve left for the light. I looked at the map: oh, how far away! Well, that’s enough for now. Another time… I haven’t received a letter from my father in law yet; he doesn’t live with you, does he? Greetings from my husband, my son (though you don’t know him), and I send you, my dears, my best wishes. Write to me, I’ll write to you, maybe I’ll find out something else from the Jews. I’ll try to send you my photo. Send me your photo — at least I’ll be able to see what you look like. Goodbye, stay healthy. Olya Peles.

Всем от меня поклон Мовшовским, а почему Мотя Сендера так далеко один и какими судьбами он остался? Я бы всё вам написала, но боюсь, что письмо не дойдёт. Оля.
================
Greetings to everyone from me to the Movshovsky family. But why is Motya Sender so far away on his own, and what circumstances led to him staying behind? I would write to you all about it, but I’m afraid the letter won’t reach you. Olya.
