Transcription:

14th November 1915.

Dear Mr. [Eduard] Wimmer – my sister-in-law would
like to achieve a leading position as a modiste
with the W. W. [Wiener Werkstätte]. She has trained
at a fashion store for 2 years and worked there for 1 year
and has been employed in a leading position at a fashion salon
in Hietzing for 2 years. Should a position in her métier
be available now or become available at a later time,
please remember her.

Warm regards,

Egon Schiele.
