Vincent van Gogh's Letters

Ramsgate, 16-17 August 1876
[Hurriedly written in pencil]

Dear Theo,
Just now Van Iterson came to surprise me. I am pleased that he comes but it is as if he is a man from another world, so much lies between the time when we were together in the business and now. I am sending you the "wide, wide world" and another little book; give one of them to Carolien. How I wish that you could see what it is like here some time.
On Saturday morning at 4 o'clock I hope to walk to London to visit Gladwell and others. I wish that you could walk with me. A hearty handshake in my thoughts.
À Dieu.
Ever your loving brother, Vincent
