Translation of the 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!
