Dear Theo,
You did well to write to us. Bear up, my dear fellow, and
always take an interest in life, also for our sakes. Oh, we can
make things so pleasant for each other, isn't this a great aim
in life?
Theo, what do you say about Vincent's surprising us again?
He ought to be careful.
The key was to the churchyard, thanks. Kindest regards from
Mother and everybody. Tomorrow Lies will have to leave.
Ever your loving father, T. v. G.
At this time, Vincent was 24 year oldSource:
