(Krumau 1862–1935 Vienna)
([?]–1940)
Transcription:
Breslau 6th Nov. [19]18.
Dear Madam,
I did not know your son
personally, but I know
what he meant to the world of art
and which values have been
buried along with him.
Thus, it is not only your pain
as a mother that deeply
moves me, but also my
own aching for the
artist upon which I had set
my hopes and whom I held
in such great esteem.
Allow me, Madam, to express my
heartfelt condolences to you
and your dear family.
Respectfully
yours,
Hel. [Helene] Heine
