Letter from Theo van Gogh to Vincent van Gogh
(29 July 1889)

It is the change of life, and in consequence of the way I am being taken care of now I am going to regain my strength, as soon as the evil is past. Yesterday we went to St. Germain. Oh, how beautiful the countryside is. Why do people go and wear themselves out in cities when they might breathe wholesome air, which brings life back? Do you leave the establishment once in a while now? Write me a letter if you can - just tell me how you are. Don't work too much. A cordial handshake, also from Jo. Yours, Theo 1.

(c. 10 December 1889)
... will receive the canvases I promised you. What I think very unfortunate is what you write about my having said that Theo is still coughing - damn it - this does not please me at all - nevertheless I think that it will improve as soon as he is a father. 3 I wish he had my health, by which I mean that I myself always have plenty of fresh air,
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to his mother
(25 May 1890)
