17th Apr. 1918.

Dear Hans Böhler –, the Neue Kunst, [Hans] Goltz in
Munich is preparing a woodcut exhibition
and we have been invited to participate. –
If you have any woodcuts I would ask you
to send them to me by the 30th of this month
at the latest.
Regarding the selection of images please
let me know a few dates when you
will be at your studio after 4 o’clock.
Kind regards,

EGON
SCHIELE

Heinrich [Böhler] has a canvas of 160 x 150 cm
on which I began to paint in 1917
at the Schwarzenberggarten studio, could you please
send it to me and include the anatomy I once
lent him? – When will I get your picture?
