Transcription:

I.
Homebodies! Why
are you always sitting around at home?
Go out to the forest
where everything is flowering and ripening! (berries)
I do like them so much. My
larynx has relapsed –
I must stay in bed and I would just love
to go out – – Adio. s. Frog
no. Paula v.[on] Schönbrunn!
Many pokes and prods to
Egon.
To be followed by n [number] II!
