Translation of the Transcription:
20th December 1912.
Dear Karl Reininghaus! I believe you must have recovered by now and so I want to remind you that I have not yet been able to send you the little city view from the Hagenbund, because [Arthur] Rößler, who had purchased it before, does not want to part with it. There is a better prospect, however, if you are willing. – I have painted a few more city views, which are larger and which I estimate to be worth much more; if you want to choose one of those instead of the smaller work, I will be delighted. Of course there will be no surcharge. – At any rate, I will reserve one of them if you cannot come now! I will be away from Vienna for a few days because I have a portrait to paint and will be at my studio from 10 to 4 o’clock every day from Thursday next week.
Kindest regards,
Egon Schiele Vienna XII, Hietzinger-Hauptstr.[aße]
101 (Ober-St. Veit Stadtb.[ahn])
