Letter 068 Ramsgate, 16-17 August 1876 [Hurriedly written in pencil]
Dear Theo,
Just now Van Iterson came to surprise me. I am pleased that he comes but it is as if he is a man from another world, so much lies between the time when we were together in the business and now.
I am sending you the “wide, wide world�and another little book; give one of them to Carolien.
How I wish that you could see what it is like here some time.
On Saturday morning at 4 o’clock I hope to walk to London to visit Gladwell and others. I wish that you could walk with me. A hearty handshake in my thoughts.
Ă€ Dieu.
Ever your loving brother, Vincent
