Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(August 1872)
... I was glad to hear you arrived

... Paris, and shall pass
Brussels at 2.07 P. M. Come

there a chance... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... me well informed
about those things.

some friend or would like a friend to come to the house; and

... Adieu,
Yours sincerely, Vincent

handshake,
