London, 20 Nov. 1873.

I wish you many happy returns;1 it will surely be a festive day, this first birthday in your own house.2 I hope that this will be a very good and happy year for you both.

You’ve received my last letter, I hope. Write soon with news of how everyone is doing. I’m longing 1v:2 to hear something again.

Have you seen Theo yet? I heard that he arrived in The Hague last Wednesday.

Herewith a small contribution for the album.3

I’m fine, but I’m up to my ears in work, and only have a moment.

Bid good-day to everyone in the Poten;4 how I’d like to look in on you today. I wish you both the best.

Yours truly,

Vincent.
