Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(8 February 1883)
... I had better tear up this letter as well.
I understand perfectly that you are quite absorbed by the
condition of the woman; that is one of the things which are
necessary for her rescue, and also for her recovery.
For one must throw oneself headlong... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

energetic.
Yes, I often think of what you wrote me recently. I think
there must be a great difference between the woman you met and
the one I have already lived with for a full year, but what
they have in common is their misfortune... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 15 February 1883)
... was very

... but this house hasn't anything like that.
I am very eager for your letter and news of your patient. I

When you say that... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 21 March 1883)
