Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 20 May 1888)
... My dear Theo,
What you write about your visits to Gruby has distressed me,
but all the same I am relieved that you went. Has it occurred
to you that the dazedness - the feeling of extreme lassitude -
may have been caused by this weakness of the heart, and in... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... will not be as easy to get hold of.
How are you? Have you seen old Gruby again? I rather think
that he exaggerates the heart trouble, a little to the
detriment of the drastic treatment that you need for your
nerves.
But in the end he will come to... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... too - with my continual need of money.
It seems to me that what these people ask of you would be
reasonable enough if they first agreed to give you a year's
leave (on full pay) to regain your health. You would devote
that year to going around and revisiting all... |

... two portraits now, the Zouave and her.
Take care of your health, above all take baths if Gruby
recommends it, for in the four years by which I am older
than you, you will see how necessary comparatively good health
is for being able to work. Now... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... and the 50
francs note that it contained. It is not good that the pains in
the leg have come back - my god - it would be good it if it was
possible if you could live in the Midi too, because I always
think that we need each other, and the sun and good weather... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... as well, you must not have too many anxieties. How are those
sciatica pains, have they stopped? In any case, you will help
me more by staying well and living well than by being too
straitened on my account, even if the consignment of paints has
to suffer.... |

... light, so as to
finish my canvas.
How are the pains - don't forget to tell me about them.
I know that you will write one of these days.
I will make you sketches of the other rooms too someday.
With a good handshake.
Ever yours, Vincent... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... from their pips. Beyond that I know
nothing. I have good news from Theo and Jo; yet I am not
surprised that he is coughing, etc. Sometimes I have wished
that they lived outside Paris, and not on a fourth or fifth
floor, etc., and yet I should not want to take the

what does it matter after all?
What you write about Theo's health is something I know quite
well. Nevertheless I hope that this domestic life will fully
restore his health. I think his wife sensible and affectionate
enough to take very good care of... |
