Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(22 June 1882)
... most kindly. I did not answer you before because I
did not know what turn my illness would take, as I did not
recover as quickly as the doctor had expected. I have already
been here more than two weeks, and I have had to pay for the
next two weeks in advance, though... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... are
sitting down for a bite of lunch.
I am feeling pretty good, at least much better than I have
for a long time. Yesterday I met the superintendent of the
hospital, Dr. van Tienhoven, on the street, and told him how I
was getting on, and he said it was... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... and that the baby was all
right.
I get tired and exhausted very easily because I had to keep
quiet in bed so long, and it is a queer feeling. But in many
respects I feel well and better than last winter, and I am so
cheerful and grateful for many things.... |

... the future
will look more attractive.
Neither do I believe that it will hinder me if my health
should give way a little from time to time. As far as I can
see, the painters who occasionally cannot work for a week or
two are not the worst ones. It... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... a few souvenirs home after
all.
But another souvenir is that I caught cold again, with all
the consequences you know of, which now forces me to stay home
for a few days.
In the meantime, I have painted a few studies of the figure

... your
health makes me think of you often. I am pretty well; my not
sparing myself and acting as if I had never been ill works all
right. But you realize that I have not entirely recovered. I
feel it at times, especially in the evening when I'm tired; but
fortunately... |

... then not. I shall work as hard as I
can. You ask about my health, but what about yours? I would
imagine my remedy would be yours as well: to be out in the
open, painting. I am well, I still feel like it even when I'm
tired, and that is getting better rather than... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

Adieu, a handshake in thought. I send you all possible good
wishes, and hope that your headache is not chronic or one which
returns again and again. With me it is also more a feeling of
uncomfortable fatigue than of excessive pain.

... from his
father, who tells me R. is sick. I do not know what ails him -
perhaps, perhaps, it is what you and I know also.
I infer this from some expressions in his last letter when
he told me to continue the experiments in lithography, and said
that... |
