Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (26 January 1882) ... of its coming back soon if I am careful.
I am very sorry to hear that you don't feel well either.
When I was in Brussels last winter, I also took a bath at the
bathing establishment as often as I could, two or three times a
week; and as it did me a lot... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (18 February 1882) ... have not heard anything from you
this month. I thought you might perhaps be ill, because in your
last letter you mentioned not feeling well. But Mr. Tersteeg
told me that you were better, at least he was not aware of your
being ill.
As you can imagine,... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (13 October 1883) ... your nerves
do not play a dirty trick on you. You have gone through a
period of terrible mental strain: in fact, you are right in the
midst of it. You are not the man to break down - if such were
the case, there would be no danger. If you should have to go
through... |
Letters from Andreis Bonger to his Parents (1886) ... now keeping their own cook in
optima forma. Theo is still looking frightfully ill; he
literally has no face left at all. That poor fellow has many
cares. Moreover, his brother is making life rather a burden to
him, and reproaches him with all kinds of things... | Letters from Theo van Gogh to his Family (1885 - 1887) ... into details it

26 April 1887
A lot has changed since I last wrote you. We have made
peace,... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (c. 20 May 1888) ... My dear Theo,
What you write about your visits to Gruby has distressed me,
but all the same I am relieved that you went. Has it occurred
to you that the dazedness - the feeling of extreme lassitude -
may have been caused by this weakness of the heart, and in... |
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (26 May 1888) ... will not be as easy to get hold of.
How are you? Have you seen old Gruby again? I rather think
that he exaggerates the heart trouble, a little to the
detriment of the drastic treatment that you need for your
nerves.
But in the end he will come to... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (28 May 1888) ... too - with my continual need of money.
It seems to me that what these people ask of you would be
reasonable enough if they first agreed to give you a year's
leave (on full pay) to regain your health. You would devote
that year to going around and revisiting all... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (c. 25 July 1888) ... two portraits now, the Zouave and her.
