1r:1
[Letterhead: Goupil Paris]
Paris, 2 February 1876.
My dear Theo,
Would you do me a great favour? You know that 15-cent edition of ‘
Andersen’s vertellingen van de maan’, translated by the
Rev. Ten Kate.
1 Could you send me a copy of it when you get the chance?
It’s only tomorrow that a crate will be going to The Hague in which I’ll enclose the packages in question.
2 The one for
Pa can no longer arrive at Etten in time, but send it as soon as possible anyway.
1r:2 I still haven’t had a reply to various letters I wrote in response to advertisements. Nor did
Uncle Vincent answer me.
I asked
Mr Obach whether any people desiring information about me could apply to him, and His Hon. replied with a very kind letter. At any rate, old boy, we can only continue quietly with our eyes on Him whom we think of when we say ‘Who will shew us any good?’
3Adieu, regards to anyone who might ask after me, and ever
Your loving brother.
Vincent
