1r:1
The Hague, 7 Sept. 1875
My dear Vincent,
Weehuizen died last spring. I thought you knew. He died very suddenly, after being ill for a couple of days. He died in hospital without anyone with him. I very much regretted not being with him. I had been with him a lot before then. He had read the book by
Michelet, ‘L’amour’,
1 and had talked a lot about it with me; he thought it so beautiful, and he loved nature so much
1v:2 and sought in it a quiet melancholy.
Last Sunday I heard a beautiful sermon. Jesus wept.
2I thank you for the lithographs and the book by
Michel that you’ve promised me;
3 I’m eager to see them.
I gave your letter to
Borchers, they look like good people. I hope to go there more often. Today we received the
nouveautés, which included the print after
Rembrandt.
4 It looks beautiful, the figure of Jesus, in particular, is beautiful, and the whole is noble. Adieu, I wish you well.
Your loving
Theo
