| Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(19 November 1873)
... from me soon after your arrival
at The Hague. I am eager to hear what your first impressions
were of your new position and home. I heard that Mr. Schmidt
gave you such a beautiful souvenir. That proves you have been
very satisfactory in every respect. I am glad that we now work
in the same house of Goupil. Lately we have had many pictures
and drawings here; we sold a great many, but not enough yet -
it must become something more established and solid. I think
there is still much work to do in England, but it will not be
successful at once. Of course, the first thing necessary is to
have good pictures, and that will be very difficult. Well, we
must take things as they are and make the best of it.
How is business in Holland? Here the ordinary engravings
after Brochard do not sell at all, the good burin engravings
sell pretty well. From the “Venus Anadyomene” after
Ingres we have already sold twenty épreuves d'artiste.
It is a pleasure to see how well the photographs... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Carolien Van Stockum-Haanebeek
(20 November 1873)
... I
am longing to hear something again.
Have you seen Theo? I heard he arrived at The Hague last
Wednesday. Herewith a small contribution to your scrapbook. All
is well with me, but I am up to my ears in work and have only a
moment to spare.
Greetings to all in the Poten; how I should like to look in
on you today!
Wishing you the best of luck,
Yours truly, Vincent

... - then there is no harm in it for once.
How is business? I know how difficult it is sometimes, but
try to be as useful as you can.
Best wishes and write soon, always your loving brother,
Vincent
Enclosed is a note for Borchers; compliments to all the Roos
family and to everybody who asks after me. B. tells me that
Weehuizen is dead, which I did not know. Were you there?

... Corot and a packet of
chocolate.
I know quite well that your life is not easy just now, boy,
but stay firm and keep up your courage: it is sometimes
necessary “not to dream, not to sigh.”
You know “thou art not alone, but thy Father is with
thee.”
With a firm handshake,
You loving brother, Vincent
Please keep the etching after Rembrandt that goes with this
letter, and the photographs of the pictures by Corot and Jules
Breton which I sent before, till Father and Mother are well
settled at Etten, and then send them; that will be about the
end of November.
