This is a nice letter in the form of a neat rhyming poem.
One sister named Pesia (diminutive from Pelagia? or maybe a nickname) writes to another something like this:

In memoriam
May you be among the scents of the rose
So that you can spend your life merrily
Lest you experience the world storm
That happiness and honor adorn your forehead
And when the sky is cloudy sometimes
And the sorrow overwhelms your heart
Remember that there is no rose without thorns
And there are no happy people in this world
Sister Pesia signed in

Make a photo of this address and paste here if you're unsure - we'll try to decipher it, but my guess is:

Probably nr 153 (the abbreviation for the 'Number' word)
