Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (19 August 1882) ... 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

Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh (20 August 1882) ... 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
