Letter from Egon and Edith Schiele to Anton Peschka, 17th Aug. 1915

Translation of the Transcription:

August 17, 1915.
Dear A.P. [Anton Peschka],
I received your card and your letter yesterday – thank you – you look very good now. Once you move to the front, I ask you to always write, and I sincerely wish you much luck when you get out from there. Hopefully the war will be over before winter – by all appearances it looks like that in Russia and that’s where the whole world war will be decided. But if we are not decisively finished with the Russians before November, things will certainly become dangerous – because the winter in Russia could break our necks. – Of course I will always carry out your will the best way possible – you may rest assured about that. Warmest greetings
See you Egon. ./.
