2To day or tomorrow_/ being the 1^st of June_/ I promised to pay my landlord f_ 5. rent of studio for
3the month of April + f_ 7.50 for last month – makes f_ 12.50.

4But not having up to now received any letter of yours since that
5of May 12^th1 I have nothing to pay him his twelve guilders & 50^c with_
6The man will surely not give me any longer delay but they
7can immediately sell my furniture publicly. Whatever may
8be your opinion concerning the things I told you – do not let
9it come to this scandal. My drawings for C.M. are ready but I shall
10not be able to get that money early enough. I say again –
11let us at all events avoid irregularity & public scandal and
12talk or write calmly on the subject till we know what
13ought to be done. Therefore I hope you will senta me what
14I so greatly want_/ & write. I work day & night & have a
15small drawing ready for you which I will send bye & bye.2 b I have no more
16money for a stamp, excuse the postcard, & believe me
