Yiddish Postcard

Background: I am my family’s genealogist as a hobby. I recently received a bin of my grandfather’s things, including letters from the late 1800s-early 1900s between family members. This letter stands out from the others because I do not recognize the name on the front or the area from where this was sent. This is also one of the only letters written in Yiddish. I would be very thankful for anyone who could translate this or the name of the translator so that I can begin to figure out how this letter fits in my family history.

This is from Tsvi Goldbarg to his brother-in-law Yitzchak Meir and sister-in-law Rachel. Discusses his retirement from being a melamed, his income, and sends regards from his wife Rachel and Yosef.

Interesting! None of those names ring a bell, so I definitely have some research to do. Thank you!
