亲爱的提奥：

昨天一个箱子被寄往了海牙[1]，附寄了一张J.Mairs的画片还有答应过给你的《Der Wirthin Töchterlein》，而且我希望你把它们挂在你的房间里。在同一个箱子里还有一张Thijs Maris的画片是给特斯蒂格[2]先生的。在巴黎Schüller寄给了我两幅画的六幅复制品，我要用它们作为礼物的；对于Thijs Maris我是很认同的。

我和安娜安全的到达了伦敦[3]，希望这里有更适合她的工作。我并不是说这会是很简单的，但是在这里的每一天她都会学到一些东西，而且无论如何，我想对于她来说这里与荷兰相比有更多的机会可以找到工作。对我来说，晚上和她一起散步穿梭于大街小巷是件愉快的事。我发现每件事情都如我第一次见到是一样的美丽。祝你好运，男子汉，代我问候Roos一家、Haanebeek一家还有Carbentuses一家。我要学习游泳了。

写信告诉我你是否已经读过米什莱¹的书了，你对它的看法是怎样的。对我来说，那本书如同一个启示。再见了。

文森特

Dear Theo,

Yesterday a box was sent to The Hague , in which I enclosed a photograph of a picture by J. Maris and also, as I promised, “Der Wirthin Töchterlein.” I hope you will put them both up in your room . In the same box is a photograph of a picture by Thijs Maris, for Mr. Tersteeg . Schüller in Paris sent me six copies of both, which I needed for presents; I have none to spare of the Thijs Maris.

Anna and I arrived safely in London and hope we shall find something for her here. I do not say it will be easy, but every day she is here she learns something, and at all events I think there is more chance for her to find something here than in Holland . It is a great pleasure for me to walk with her through the streets in the evening. I find everything again as beautiful as when I saw it the first time . Good luck to you, boy, and give my compliments to the Rooses, Haanebeeks and Carbentuses when you see them. I am learning to swim.

Write to me whether you have already read in Michelet ¹ and what you think about it. To me that book was a revelation . À Dieu.

Vincent
