Here is a translation of the first page you posted:
"Rochefort, 5th January 1968
My dear cousin,
Like every year since the death of poor Aunt Alice, it is with intense pleasure that I take up my pen to have a little chat with you. And of course, firstly to ask you if the year 1967 was a good one for you and next to send you our best wishes for the new year especially for your good health. Then may this new year bring you calm and happiness among those around you who demonstrate their affection for you. We imagine that you weren't alone for the festive season and are sure someone came to fetch you to share the joy of being together as a family.
As for us, we were expecting....."
I can do some more if the letters aren't too long and if you aren't in too much of a hurry.
