Transcription:

8th June 1913.

Dear Mr. Reininghaus! I believe I forgot to thank you for your package in my previous letter; please disregard this and accept my thanks now. – I worked a lot on the Conversion, I removed the figure on the right with Osen’s traits but added a new one on the left side of the picture, which reveals the gesture of a clairvoyant who has experienced and realized a religious epiphany. – The preaching divine human in the center of the picture is now dominant. So, will you come to me on [crossed out: Wednesday or Thursday] Tuesday or Wednesday of this week? I would be delighted.
I am sending you my warmest regards.
Egon Schiele.
