Can anyone translate this letter from 1928 found in a wall in Dubuque, IA when remodeling an old home? It appears to be in German.

Oh, my… This is [Deutsche Kurrentschrift](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Kurrentschrift)! I cross posted to r/Kurrent.

>Dear aunt!
>Above all heartfelt congratulations on your name day. We wish you all the best, good health, happiness and blessings for you and your family. How are you? Are you and your uncle and children well? We have read about the storm and also
pictures of the storm that raged near you. Hopefully it didn’t hit you too. Everything is well with us. Only Betty’s rheumatism won’t go away completely and we always have to buy antidotes so that it doesn’t get out of hand. Work is also going better again. Helene had to take 8 weeks off this year. And Betty was also quite unwell. But now it’s slowly getting better again.
