Dear Theo,
With this letter I am sending you the book by Michel that I
promised you, an etching after the “Marguerite” by
Scheffer, a lithograph after Corot and a packet of
chocolate.
You know “thou art not alone, but thy Father is with
thee.”
With a firm handshake,
You loving brother, Vincent
Please keep the etching after Rembrandt that goes with this
letter, and the photographs of the pictures by Corot and Jules
Breton which I sent before, till Father and Mother are well
settled at Etten, and then send them; that will be about the
end of November.
At this time, Vincent was 22 year oldSource:
