Liebes Herzerl. – Deine Karte habe ich schon bekommen. – Heute war ich mit der Mutter zu Fuß in Gmunden, wir haben uns am Weg einige Wohnungen in Weyer angeschaut, aber nichts Passendes gefunden. Wir wollten dann weiter nach Altmünster, da hat es aber furchtbar zu regnen angefangen. Überhaupt das Wetter ist entsetzlich. Wie ist es denn in Wien? Mir ist furchtbar bange nach dir. Der Trudi auch. Görgi sagt so zweimal im Tag “Papa pahhh”. Ich weiß gar nicht wie diese lange Zeit vergehen soll. – Heute habe ich mir in Gmunden eine Menge Backsachen gekauft. Natürlich aber auch sehr viel Geld ausgegeben! – Die Awiso von unseren Sachen sind gestern gekommen, da das Wetter aber so elend war habe ich sie per Post dem Speditör geschickt. Ich hoffe das war doch in Ordnung? Wie verbringst du die Zeit? Hast du mir ausführlich geschrieben? Wenn nicht, dann thue es gleich. Ich küsse dich tausendmal mein Lieber. Trudi schickt dir viele, viele Pussi, wahrscheinlich auch Görgi.

Deine Mathilde

Darling. – I have already received your card. Today I walked with mother in Gmunden. We looked at some apartments on the way, but could not find anything suitable. We wanted to go on to Altmünster but it started to pour down. The weather is really appalling. How is it in Vienna? I am longing for you dreadfully. Trudi too. Görgi says Papaaaa twice a day. I don’t know how to make the time pass. – I have bought a lot of pastries in Gmunden today. Naturally, I have spent a lot of money! The advice note about our goods has arrived yesterday. Since the weather was so horrible, I sent it to the removal people. I hope this was O.K.? – How do you pass the time? Have you written to me in proper detail? If not, do it at once. I kiss you a thousand times, my darling. Trudi sends you many kisses, Görgi probably as well.

Your Mathilde
