The Hague, 9th May 1873
Dear Theo,
Monday morning I leave Helvoirt for Paris, and shall pass
Brussels at 2.07 P. M.
I must not forget to tell you that I showed your photograph
to Mrs. Tersteeg, and she would like very much to have one. Is
there a chance of your having another and sending it to me? If
not now, maybe another time.
Theo, you have no idea how kind everybody here is to me, and
you can imagine how sorry I am to have to leave so many
friends.
Adieu, boy. Compliments to Uncle and Aunt, hope to see you
soon.
Vincent.
Inquire if you have to be at the north or the south
station.
