Transcription:

Dear Did. Why so silent? –
Why don’t you send me the
costume? I really need it.
Yours was met with great approval.

I will get a
taffeta skirt with baggy pockets
to go with the [Wiener] Werkstätten blouse.
If the pictures turn out
well, I will send you
some. You should
go there too.
It is really nice
there. – Regards to Egon!
