Translation of the Transcription:

24th Sep. 1917.
Dear Mr. [Richard] Lanyi! – Since I will be going to Munich at the end of this week to see [Hans] Goltz, I would like to sell a few drawings to you before that and I therefore ask that you let me know if you could visit me tomorrow, Tuesday or Wednesday at ¾ 8 o’clock in the evening. – If you have already received the photographs from [Arthur] Rößler, please give them to my wife.

Kindest regards,
EGON
