Letter from a child of the Harms family to Marie Schiele, 6th Nov. 1918

Vienna, 6th November 1918

Dearest Madam!
At the request of my mother, Mrs. [Josefine] Harms, I
took care of the dog “Lord”
during the illness of our beloved. I presume that
you, Madam, will administer the estate of Egon [Schiele],
may God rest his soul, and I would hereby like to inquire
respectfully what is to be done with the dog. I will send the
dog along with the boy, please keep it or send
a few lines via the boy as to what is to happen with the
animal. I am sure that many of Egon’s friends would
love to take it, unfortunately, I can’t keep it in my present
circumstances. Very respectfully yours with kind regards
to yourself and Miss Melanie [Schiele]
