Vienna, 18th May 1910.
Dear Schiele!
Thank you very much for your letter. Yesterday L. A. [1] came into the clinic and was admitted. She shares a room with a 2nd woman, and seems very unhappy about your infidelity. – It is probably better this way, for you and for her. – The fine weather surely is good for your works, which makes me very happy. – Please give my best regards to Osen, [2] and let me know again the date of your return. – I liked Taschner [3] quite well. Stella [4] not so much. Your work looked a lot better in the studio. Generally, the whole exhibition [5] does not really fit in the Prater. They should have better hung must of the Kunsthaus-artists stuff [6] in the individual hunting pavilions and restaurants.
Best regards yours
Graff
