Experts from the letter of Vincent Van Gogh.
To Theo van Gogh. Nuenen, Sunday, 4 October 1885.

lyrics

My dear Theo,
I had wanted to inform you earlier of the safe receipt of your letter
and the 150 francs enclosed.
I have also received the September Lhermitte
— it's splendid.
You write about the Poussins in the Louvre.
I like Poussin very much.
But what a long time ago it is too long since I saw those paintings.
I need to see paintings,
and I must do something about it.
As for the work, I've been painting a lot of still lifes lately,
I will send you some.
I know that they are difficult to sell.
You will get a large still life of potatoes.
I am now working on still life of my birds nests,
and I have finished 4 of them.
I think that some people who know nature well might like them
because of the colors of the moss, dry leaves and grasses, clay. . .
I will write to you again at thee end of this week,
when I am back from the little trip to Amsterdam.
Since I have to pay my rent again next month,
I can hardly afford the expense.
But it's essential.
So more soon.
Yours truly, Vincent
