Amsterdam, 19 May 1877

Amsterdam, 30 May 1877
"My head is sometimes heavy and often it burns and my thoughts are confused"
The Hague, 19 July 1882
"The doctor forbids my working hard, as I still tire very easily; but this will gradually disappear, and then I shall set to work with full energy."
The Hague, c. 10 October 1882
"I feel quite normal now, except when I am very tired; then I sometimes have a day or half a day when I feel indescribably weak and faint, much more so now than before. However, I do not pay attention to it any more, for I'm getting sick of it, and I can't afford to be ill, as I have too much work to do. At such times taking a long walk to Scheveningen or somewhere often helps me."
The Hague, c. 22 June 1883
"The woman had no milk to nurse the baby those last days, and I too felt very faint."
