Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (2 November 1883) ... finale of the
symphony I heard yesterday. The

been so immersed in that heart-rending music all day that I had
literally forgotten to eat and drink - I had had a slice of
black bread and a cup of coffee in the little inn where...
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Emile Bernard (c. 18 June 1888) ... I don't
really think is the case.
It's the fault of that damned foul wine in Paris and those
foul greasy steaks.
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (9 August 1888) ... at any rate, and also a little in
reality. I am happier to feel my old strength returning than I

Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (13 October 1888) ...
He will need time to recover, I tell you. I assure you, I

Letter from Theo van Gogh to Vincent van Gogh (27 October 1888) ... enough to live on than when you
were alone. Why don't you try to get credit with some purveyor
of food in case I am not there, as happened a short while ago,
or if it is impossible for me to send the money at once? I am
very happy that Gauguin is with...
Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (c. 6 November 1888) ... certainly find some interesting things.
