Mein liebes Herzerl. – Ich kann heute den Briefträger mit deinem Brief nicht abwarten, weil ich der Trudi versprochen habe, nach Gmunden mit ihr zum Umgang zu gehen. Ich muß also gleich fort. Sei deshalb nicht bös mein Lieber. – Wir sind alle gesund und freuen uns schon riesig auf dich. Seit gestern geht Görgi froh herum und schreit “Papa soll kommen, gutes Godl bringen”. Er ist sehr lieb und herzig. Mir ist mit dem Magen schon gut. Ich habe gestern mit Trudi kalt gebadet. Es war aber so eisig daß ich es so bald nicht mehr thun werde. Ich weiß überhaupt nicht, ob es mir besonders gut thut. Trudi gibt keine Ruhe ich soll schon kommen deshalb muß ich für heute schließen.
Viele, viele Küsse mein Lieber deine
Mathilde

My dear heart. – I cannot wait for the postman with your letter today, because I have promised Trudi to go with her to Gmunden to see the parade. I must be off at once. Don’t be cross about it, my dear. We are all well and look forward to your coming tremendously. Since yesterday Görgi walks about all the time, crying “Papa should come and bring goodies.” He is very loving and sweet. My stomach is alright. Yesterday I gave Trudi a cold bath. But it was so icy, that I will not do it again soon. I don’t really know, whether it is at all beneficial. Trudi gives me no peace, so I must therefore close for today.
Many many kisses my dear your

Mathilde.
