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 (c. 21 March 1883) ... warm thanks for your letter and the enclosure. I was
glad to hear some more details about your patient, the more so
as the news seemed to be very favourable.
What you write about her influence on other people is very

I am glad your patient is progressing, though slowly. It is
beautiful spring weather here, the evenings are indescribably
beautiful. If the weather is the same in Paris, it will do her
good. Is she up already?... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (c. 11 April 1883) ... as ever, the former as well as the latter. I read
with interest what you wrote about your patient. The change in
circumstances brought about by her recovery has a more or less
critical side, because probably, and you expect it yourself, it
will raise opposition... |
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) ... it may be extraordinarily profitable.
Has your patient left the hospital for good? But perhaps
some days of anxiety will follow, no less serious than when she
was still there.
