Postcard from Melanie Schiele to Egon Schiele, 18th Mar. 1907

Transcription:

Dear Mr. Potbelly!
So you must be doing very well
and I’m sure you are ardently pursuing
your favorite occupation. I have
received your card and I thank you for it,
I was beginning to think you had
forgotten your oldest sister altogether.
Unfortunately, we will have to spend
the fine season in Vienna this year.
So, do enjoy your holiday
and go on many excursions.
I talked to your colleague Hammer yesterday
he sends his regards and says he would
be delighted to receive a card from you.
Many kisses and regards to you and
aunt & uncle,
your sister Mela.

Gigi the Toad and
Mr. König send their regards and are looking forward to seeing you.

Best regards,
Gerti
Greetings to your aunt and uncle
