Transcription:

Baden, New Year’s Eve.
Dear Mr. Schiele! Unfortunately I was
unable to perform my preannounced visit
on the day in question because no
electric vehicle would take me
despite my heroic efforts.
As soon as I have completed my travel preparations
I will reserve any remaining afternoons
for you!
With kind regards and my best wishes for the New Year
Yours faithfully,
Dr Robert Scheu
