Transcription:

Dear Mama. We received your
card on Monday morning, when
we were ready to leave,
so we could not come to
see you on Sunday. I hope
you will be alone next
time we come to Vienna
and that you will be so kind as to
visit us. Unfortunately we have so
little time, otherwise we
would love to come see
you. Best regards to Mela [Melanie Schiele],
regards and kisses to you from Egon [Schiele]
and myself. Yours, Edith
Do write again, please don’t be so
silent!
