Translation of the Transcription:

[Letterhead:] EGON SCHIELE VIENNA XIII, HIETZINGER HAUPTSTRASSE 101
[address crossed out and corrected:] Wattmanngasse 6

Dear [Anton] Faistauer – Mr. [Karl] Stemolak with whom I have talked on the phone will visit me one of these days to discuss the matter in question in greater detail. He said we could hold our own exhibitions on Zedlitzgasse separately from the Hagenbund under the already circulated title New Secession and that this would automatically produce more extended connections and relations than elsewhere.
Kind regards,
EGON
SCHIELE
