23rd July
Dear Sir!
Because of a postponed
portrait sitting it will be impossible
for me to come to the Café
Museum on Thursday. I will be
at my studio from ½ 6 to ½ 8 in the evening,
however, should it suit
the gentlemen. I cannot leave my
studio in the mornings for the time
being. Maybe we could meet at
your studio in the evening one of
these days? I will leave for 4 weeks
on Wednesday; it would be good to
meet – before that. I would be
delighted if you could join us
for a game of skittles today,
Wednesday, from 5 to 9 in the evening
(at the inn Gasthaus Fritsch on the
corner of Penzingerstraße –
Nisselgasse). The skittle alley is in
the garden.

Please confirm the meeting
by telephone in advance
around 2–3 p.m.
33371. Director’s office
Regards,
Yours, Stemolak

Egon Schiele
