Translation of the 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 Knappendörfl.
Our best regards,

EGON
SCHIELE
