1r:1
When the Lord’s Supper is next celebrated here I’ll attend it,
1 you should do the same in The Hague, let us go as
true participants in the Lord’s Supper.
And take this piece of rye bread too, and eat it, as I do, with our thoughts turned toward our Father’s house
2 and to the things we heard and saw there.
And believe me
Your most loving and affectionate brother
Vincent
And pray: Lord, bless this food!
3Herewith Ecce Homo,
4 send me Mater Dolorosa.
5 Adieu, old boy, a handshake in thought.
