Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(25 or 26 February 1883)
... me so because I couldn't get it right. I mentioned the good news about your patient, but her wanting to go back to her own country doesn't seem quite right to me; but as you say, little can be said about the future before she has recovered. May spring do her...
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 3 March 1883)
... are necessary to make it practical. Your patient will cause you a great deal of expense; if you can't send anything extra just now, I needn't stop working because of that. Besides, not long ago you did send something extra, so I want to emphasize...
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(11 March 1883)
... of the 9th of March, and for the enclosed. Is your patient improving? I hope in this case “no news is good news.” If it has been as cold in Paris as it was here last week, it cannot have agreed very well with her. When you say that...

Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(30 April 1883)
... and may you have success in your work, and I do hope, especially, that you may have in this year some satisfaction for what you did for your patient; may she recover and start a new life. Do you know it is almost a year since you were here? Yes - I long...
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 2 May 1883)
... how many cares you have yourself. In some ways what you write about your patient isn't news, but in other ways it is. That you have written our parents about it, or rather, that you are going to, is something which will set your own mind at rest, and it is...
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(9 or 10 May 1883)
