Translation of the Transcription:

Vienna, 4th Apr. [19]18.

Dear Mr. Schiele!
Congratulations on the H. M. [Heeresmuseum], thank God that you are now mostly restored to your sublime tasks. Will visit Eichberger as soon as possible between 4 and 5 in the afternoon. Baurat Mayer has purchased your picture of Stein (view towards the river) from the Hauers for 1000 crowns.
Kind regards, Benesch
