"Tree roots," Vincent van Gogh

[Postcard, written in English]
Today I sent you by post 1 drawing, “A Root in a dry
ground.” Just let me know what you think
of it. “The Roots” is very similar to this one, but
I cannot send that one, neither “Sorrow” in this
manner on a roller, the drawings being mounted on cardboard.
But the paper has been slightly damaged in 2 or 3 places, as
I worked through it; please have this seen to at once, else it
might get worse. I think it wants a grey mount. Good bye, I
hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience.
