Looking for someone to translate letters

Tere!
I have a lot of letters written from my great grandfather to my grandmother after she emigrated from Estonia to Sweden in 1944. But since I don´t speak estonian I can´t read them myself. And my father doesn´t know enough estonian to understand the context.
So I´m looking for someone who can help translate the letters to english for me. Here is an example of a letter:
http://issuu.com/miraldadorbeck/docs/59 ... =%23222222" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
(First part is written by her sister, second by her father.)
See my previous thread here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=9744" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Maybe someone here has the time to look at them? Or maybe knows someone who is a student/retired and has the time and interest to help? Of course I woud be willing to pay something for the time and energy put into this. All in all it´s about 70 letters written from 1953 to 1961, but they could be translated in groups of 5 or 10 or something, to make it a little less work at a time! I have them all scanned and could upload/send them as pdf-documents.
Please let me know if you´re interested or knows someone who might be!
