Highlighting Theo - work - Turn off highlighting
Dear Theo,
What good news I've just read in Father's letter. I wish you
luck with all my heart. I'm sure you will like it there, it's
such a fine firm. It will be quite a change for you.
I am so glad that both of us are now to be in the same
profession and in the same firm. We must be sure to write to
each other regularly.
I hope that I'll see you before you leave, we still have a
lot to talk about. I believe that Brussels is a very pleasant
city, but it's bound to feel strange for you in the beginning.
Write to me soon in any case. Well, goodbye for now, this is
just a brief note dashed off in haste, but I had to tell you
how delighted I am at the news. Best wishes, and believe me,
always,
Your loving brother,
Vincent
I don't envy you having to walk to Oisterwijk every day in
this awful weather. Regards from the Roos family.
