Vienna
Letter from Egon Schiele to Fritz Hora
6th Aug. 1914
(Tulln 1890–1918 Vienna)
Transcription:
6th August 1914.
Dear Dr. [Fritz] Hora
in these awful times I take the liberty
of asking you whether you would be
inclined to help me very much by
buying or enticing your acquaintances to
buy some of my drawings; – I would sell
the drawings at a greatly reduced price
and presume that you are in a position
that might allow you to do something
for me, should you be willing. – I have no
savings left. – Please write to me at once,
if you will be so kind,
for I am all empty: – I hope
you have not been drafted, too. – I have
the drawings ready for selection at my studio.
Best regards,
Egon Schiele
