It’s Flemish, i.e. the Belgian variant of Dutch. Written in [Zwevegem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwevegem).
Formal Flemish (old style).
Dear Family,
Mother asks me if I will let you know that she received your 2 letters well. Two days ago she received your last one, with the cheque inside. She was very happy with it, but she did say that Irene should not have asked it, because it’s not good there as well, and you’re also having misery, but she will not be returning it, because her surplus isn’t that big either, and returning it is also costly. But from the other side she’s thinking that because of this you’re now strapped for cash. In your letter and the one from Alida we’re seeing that Jozef has been very sick with pleuritis. It’s also very sad that you have to encounter that with the children, only last year with Bernice and the scarlet fever
