January 19
Dear A. P. [Anton Peschka],
I am very angry that you did not come to me, where I would have given you the application to sign. Please sign and fill it out and send it to me or to the Secession. You will be exhibited for sure and the exhibition will only open at the end of February or at the latest 1 March, where you will be invited beforehand. Klimt, I heard yesterday, had a stroke and feels very sick. In the meantime, warmest greetings
EGON
