Transcription:

Vienna, 6th Apr. [19]18. Dear Mr. Schiele!
My heartfelt thanks for your
kind confirmation, which delights
me very much. Can I come to get
the work during the week after
5 o’clock in the afternoon? I
cannot tell you the day in advance,
because I am very busy. Maybe
you could tell me on which days of the
week I can expect to find you
at home at the agreed time.
Kind regards and many thanks,
Yours,
Benesch
