Transcription:

21st June 1913

Dear Mr. Reininghaus!

I have been in Krumau for a few days now
because I want to study some city views
here! I don’t know when you will be
back in Vienna and I would very much
like to know because then I would
return to Vienna to complete the
pictures of Stein I have begun. I am
holding your telegram in my hand and I
believe you will consider it fair if I fix
the price for the double portrait at 600 c [crowns]
for you. I expect that we will meet in Vienna?
At the studio to work on
the large painting “Conversion”?
Maybe you could let me know.

Best regards,
Egon Schiele
currently Krummau a. d. [an der] Moldau
Hotel gold.[ener] Engel.
