Transcription:

Dear Mr. Hauer,
I believe Peschka will bring forth good work. Therefore, if you are so willing, as I am, do for Peschka what you please; I also believe that it would benefit him. – He will show you all the work when he comes back to Vienna. As he will go with me to the Ossiachersee.
Warmest greetings
Your Egon Schiele
