In that year, he was serving in the Austro-Hungarian army, but he worked professionally when he had time off from his military duties. Translation requested, and transcription into Roman alphabet if possible.

(in Hebrew)Shalom my dear friend,
I can inform you that I am since wednesday
in Pest and was invited this shabbat to ...
so the shabbat before that I ....I think perhaps I'll come next week.
Greetings to you, your wife, and your children.
(in Hebrew) your friend Anshel Heiberg (?)

This isn't standard Yiddish but a sort of "daitschmerish". The handwriting is not very clear so I've translated as much as I could make out. Not sure about the surname.
Hope this helps.
