Transcription:

Dear A. P., I’ll expect your visit full of
confidence on Wednesday, before
3 o’clock, if possible, because
I want to tell you about the result
I have achieved with the Secession
and I once again want to encourage you
to paint now, as long as you are still
in Vienna, so you can participate in
our exhibition, which will be the most
important exhibition of new art in Vienna,
and so you can build a foundation for
your future. I also want to talk to you
about the future as far as it concerns me.
Maybe Willy could wait until 5 or 6 o’clock
after all to come to Café Eichberger.
Kindest regards to yourself, Gerti and Tonerl,
EGON.
