Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 2 August 1883)
... you come, I hope to
paint a few more things. I don't feel entirely well yet, but

I don't feel the weakness so much; but it overtakes me
occasionally during the intervals when I am not in front of my

... and a towpath with windmills.
For the rest, it is miserable enough that I still feel very
faint when I am not hard at my work, but I believe it is
receding. I will decidedly try hard to lay up a reserve of
strength for I shall need it to carry on the painting... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(c. 11 August 1883)
... I needn't tell you how I long for your coming. Recently I
have been far from well - always the same thing, at times

... which I just now received here at Nuenen.

... here, also if you should make a payment.
As soon as I am well again, I shall probably go and live in
the studio, at least in the daytime.

... at once, and the coat in February.

... that dreariness is our worst
enemy.
As the doctor tells me that I must improve my physical way
of living, who knows but what you also would feel better for
such a measure. For you too are neither happy nor in
sufficiently good spirits, let's call things... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh

... that period of figure

And then it may be egoistic if you like, I want my health
restored. My impression of the time I have spent here does not
change either; in a certain sense I am very much disappointed
by what I have made here, but my ideas have... | Letter from Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh
(19 or 20 February 1886)
... I am because his age makes it very critical. Today I went with
him to the same doctor whom I had been to myself, and probably
he will have to go to the hospital and undergo an operation,
which will be decided tomorrow. At last I had persuaded him to
