Transcription:

Dear Egon! We wanted
to bring you something
which I am sure you
would like – then
Edith [Schiele] told us
you are spending a
month on the Sofienalpe.
How long have you
been there? How are
you? I am thinking
of you all the time –
if only things were
back to normal, it
would be good for
everybody. Keep well
– don’t catch a cold –
I will write to you or
Edith very soon!
With affectionate kisses
your Mama
my best regards to Edith

Egon Schiele
Acad.[emic] painter
