Postcard from Edith Schiele to Marie Schiele, undated

Transcription:

Dear Mama. Please do not be cross
with us because of our silence.
Egon works all day without interruption
and Egon’s being home all day means
much more work for me than before,
especially when it comes to food, you know
what a gourmet he is and it is not
easy to please him. I have not
been to the city, to Mariahilf
in weeks, as my mother
has not been feeling well these
last few days and I want to be with her
as much as I can.
So you see, I am not doing as well
as you might think. – But I will make
sure to visit you one of these days.
My best regards to you and Mela and to your
mother, whose acquaintance I have yet to make,
Yours, Edith.
