Description
[Translation/transcription]
Vienna
2 May 1960
Dear Pamela and Dear Pepik,
It is quite nice to be in Wien with the company (great company!) of Oskar Kokoska: He is so enjoing, so friendily, so young man!
How are you? May I see you in Rome for the next sommer? How are the beatiful boys? Love from Emilio
Darling, the beautyfull one and beloved Magister Hodinus and my witch and boy.
I do hope soooo much to see you in London this autumn. Greco the [illegible] of plasticity, rare artist, wonderful sense of form, tender sensuality. Modigliani awfully dull by comparison, lacks the artistic intelligence.
I could need you badly, Beautyfull one because I am alone, Yours OK
