Translation of the Transcription:

September 16, 1913.
Dear Mr. Hauer,
When you are in a better position soon, you will be sending me of your own accord for later accounting, won’t you? I don’t want to continue writing about this, nor where you write that I contradict myself, as I will honor everything when I am joyful.
Sending you the study of the saw mill, because it is of no use to me now.

Best regards
Egon Schiele.
