in date note:
...Hoogeveen on Friday, 12 October 1883 (see letter 394). The present letter, written in Nieuw-Amsterdam (l. 38), must date from soon after the trip back because Van Gogh describes his fellow passengers in the barge. If he travelled back on the Friday, he must have caught the barge that sailed at 13.00; if he spent that night in Hoogeveen, he could have left at 9.30 on Saturday morning. The fact that he writes that he is going out again (l. 130) does not necessarily mean that the letter cannot have been written on Friday evening, since Van Gogh was drawing evening effects that month (see letter 398). He probably received Van Rappard’s letter from Utrecht (that was ‘today’, l. 39) just before he left Hoogeveen...
