Transcription:
Dear Mother! It is simply splendid here, I arrived yesterday at 11:15 am and was collected with a grand vehicle. The spirit factory Györ is huge, and includes three towing tracks, its own carriages and locomotives, in short: very large indeed. – In keeping with this, the apartment building is furnished entirely by the Wiener Werkstätte. The people are very elegant and are treating me very kindly, perhaps I will paint all of them over time, we went to the theater and on other excursions. The city is almost as big as Linz. – The equipage is always at the ready. The servants wear gray with silver buttons.
Best regards, Egon.
