MUNICH, 16th April [19]18

Most Honorable
Mr. Egon Schiele
Painter
Vienna.

Dear colleague!

We greatly regret that the limited space
available makes it impossible for us to
comply with your kind request to provide
separate rooms in our department in
the Crystal Palace for the entire
circle of artists gathered
around you.
We very much hope, however,
that you yourself will again be
represented with your works in our
summer exhibition this year and

therefore ask you to once more grace
our exhibition with your works this year
as you did last year.

Respectfully,
President:
[Hugo Freiherr von] Habermann.

Secretary:
R. [Richard] Winternitz.
