Translation of the Transcription:

Munich, 25th Nov. [19]15.
Dear Mr. Schiele!
Thank you for your kind letters, but unfortunately I will not be able to grant your wish. I am delighted to hear that you will go to Krakow and that you have been declared only partially fit. The war will soon be over or at least come to a standstill.
Exhibition in Berlin! Very good!
It is sure to be a success. –
Best regards! Yours, [Heinrich] Böhler
