Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(19 May 1877)
... Dear Theo,
What a fine day we spent together, one we shall not easily
forget. I want to make sure you find a letter on your return
from Etten. You no doubt had a good time at home too, so write
soon and tell me how you spent the day.
I... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... my other studies, which I do not neglect.
Yesterday at Stricker's they asked me to tell them about
London and Paris. When I do, I see it all again before me: all
that past time can be of help in my present work. I love so
many things over there, and oh!... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... on me again. Tell me what you think of it. These
places mentioned in it - Hampton Court with its avenues of

... calmly wait and see how things turn out. I
have loved so many things in these cities; I often recall them

your little room. I heard from home that you will probably soon
visit Mauve's house in the dunes... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... like to show
him around as much as I can. I long to see the brown eyes that
could sparkle so when we looked at pictures by Michel and
others, and talked about “many things.” Yes, it

Did you have a good journey? Let me hear from you soon. It
was a delightful surprise when you came here that evening (N.B.
the young woman at the station had already been wondering about
our hurried departure). It... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

Give my kind regards to all at Soek's, I so often remember
an excursion I made with his family to Ville d'Avray. Entering
the little church there, it struck me to find more than one
picture by Corot - you know he was there... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

Chaudfontaine they have iron.
I still keep thinking of the day you came to Brussels and of
our visit to the Museum. And I often wish you were a bit nearer

looking at that etching... |
