This is a correspondence between two Jews, mainly asking about belongings, money and family. The handwriting is easy to read. Do you have trouble with it ?

Hello,
Handwritten scrawled, there is a little difficulty, I would like to know these 2 Jews, whether they come from Germany?
They should be in the refugee zone in Shanghai, China.
Wait
Thank you
Both are German with typical Jewish names. I suppose they write in English because of censors.
The writer, a former veterinary doctor, is working as a refugee in a dairy in Shanghai. He feels old, lonely and poor.
The addressee is in Palestine.
When I have some free time during the week, I can copy the text for you.
As promised, here is the text (mistakes not corrected).
"My dear Ernst,
My best salutations. I hope, that you, Lucie and all your people are healthy and well. I regret that I haven’t any notice from you since a year. I had asked you for sending of a little money few months before, but I have never received anything. I thank you, that you have given all the objects to Ruth. Ruth has written me that some miss : the gold seal-ring of my father and 2 silvern cups. Perhaps you have found this objects; further Ruth has written, you have send me money; but I have received nothing. Examine, please, this affair. You know, I am now a poor old man, and it is very bad, when one loses the last little money for the need-time. I have here with Joachim a little position in a dairy. The existence here is very difficult for the 18.000 emigrants. Most of the people get their food from the help-committee and live in the refugee-homes. - John Landau has visited me. He has told me from Netta. My condolence. I have written to Leo, but no answer. - I would be very glad, if you write me a long letter. What is the matter with you, your family, brothers, Hans, Ella ? I know nothing.
Norbert
My greetings"
