Translation of the Transcription:

My dears. Today, we have taken a trip to Gaming, where we want to stay the night. In the afternoon, we will go on to Lunz on the Lunzersee, at the foot of the Ötscher. It is wonderful here and we also have stunning weather. I will come back on Saturday on the same train as recently.
Kindest regards. Kisses, yours,
Edith.

[Written by Egon Schiele:]
Kind regards from Gaming – next, we will go to Lunz. Egon.
