[Postcard]
Dear Theo,
I just received a letter from home (thank Father for it,
please - I hadn't received the letter when I wrote,) and I see
you intend to leave Breda 2:15 Friday. Please let me know if
you change your plans, for I want to come and meet you at the
station. If you are in no hurry, we must make the most of the
time we can be together. I am working on a painted study for
the potato diggers. I hope it will turn out well [F 009, JH
385].
I along very much for your coming; have a good time. A
handshake,
Yours, Vincent
Do look at what's going on in the fields in Brabant, and try
to get a glimpse of a weaver's interior in the village - they
are so picturesque.
