Translation of the 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
