Transcription:

Dear Mr. Schiele!
I hope you will be
feeling much better
and happy by the time
you get this letter.
Please send me the
picture we talked about,
old house with water,
to Belvedere-
gasse care of the janitor
and I will send you
500 crowns. I don’t
want the other picture, single

house, but would prefer
a city view, like the
others I have,
so they would match
better.
I am sure you will be
able to paint such a picture
(or landscape) until October.
I am staying in Baden,
since the weather is
very fine; if the

weather changes,
I will come to
Vienna and
visit you.
Best regards
to you & your wife Edith
Yours, H. Böhler.

Baden [near] Vienna.
Aug. [19]15.
