Transcription:

Dear Mr. Carl Reininghaus! –

We would love to be with you
today and accompany you to K. [Knappendörfl]
but my wife is ill and has been
confined to bed since yesterday.
We have to be very careful because
I don’t know if it is the flu. Once
she has recovered we will be delighted
to come to Knappen-
dörfl.
Our best regards,

EGON
SCHIELE
