Letter from Dr. T. Peyron to Theo van Gogh
Saint-Rémy, 3 or 4 September 1889

Dear Sir,

I add a few words to your brother's letter to inform you that he has quite recovered from his crisis, that he has completely regained his lucidity of mind, and that he has resumed painting just as he used to do. His thoughts of suicide have disappeared, only disturbing dreams remain, but they tend to disappear too, and their intensity is less great.

His appetite has returned, and he has resumed his usual mode of life.

With my best compliments,

Yours Faithfully, Dr. Peyron

At this time, Vincent was 36 year old
