Postcard from Anton Peschka to Egon Schiele, 1915

Transcription:

Dear Egon!
My last evening
in Teresienstadt! – I am thinking of
you! – Krumau is similar to this
old town of Leitmerik! – And this evening
resembles similar evenings I have spent
with you in Krumau! – This afternoon
I played skittles with our officers.
The Deutschmeister regiment is popular anywhere
The lazy bastards that always lose track
The “Viennese” we are called despicably
by the Philistines and everyone! – And
yet they are looking to associate with us.
I hope I will be able to write to you from Gablenz
conveniently very soon! – Give my
best regards to Mr. Benesch and
Wally – your wife etc.
Unfortunately I am always lacking metal –
but you know – I am a commendable boy –
Yours, Ant [Anton] Peschka
