Dear Professor, how should I make the draft? Could you please write to tell me how, which of my paintings or drawings? I didn’t know what price to put down I don’t care if it is 500 or 100 c. [crowns]. By when will I need to be done? – I will be back for the meeting on the Kunstschau exhibition. Please write to me in Krummau,
many thanks in advance and best regards,

Egon Schiele.
