Schenkweg 14 March.

Dear Mr de Zwart,

Last Monday1 I paid Giesenberg2 not only the 4.603 guilders due that day but also a further 10 guilders.

In accordance with the matter dealt with in my letter of last month with regard to the attic room.4

May I now count on your kind consideration in respect of fitting it up efficiently?

Otherwise leaving it to you, naturally, to decide how you want to do it.

I respectfully remain,

Your servant

Vincent van Gogh.
