巴黎 1875年8月13日

Dear Theo,

I wanted to write you earlier. I am happy that Father has accepted the nomination at Etten 我很高兴父亲接受了去埃顿（工作）的任命 ; in the circumstances 在这种情况下 , I think it right that W. 指凡高的妹妹威廉明娜 and A. 指凡高的妹妹安娜 [their sisters] are leaving together. I would have liked to be with you all that Sunday when you went to Helvoirt 海尔沃特（凡高父母在去埃顿之前住的地方） - did I write you that I spent the day with Soek and his family at Ville d'Avray? I was surprised to find three pictures by Corot 柯罗 in a little church there.

Last Sunday and the previous Sunday 上上星期天 , I went to church to listen to Dr. Bercier; I heard him preach 讲道、布道 on “Toutes choses prouveront le bien de ceux qui aiment Dieu” [ All things work together for the good of those that love God ] and on “Il fit l'homme à son image” [ God created man in his own image. 上帝以自己的形象来创造人 ] It was beautiful and noble.

You should go to church every Sunday if you have the time ; even if the preaching is not good, it is better to go; you will not regret it. 你应该每星期都去教堂，即使布道不好，只要去就好；你不会感到遗憾。 Have you been to church to hear the Reverend Mr. Zubli?

On the list of engravings that hang in my room, I forgot the following: 挂在我房间中的画的清单，我忘了一下这些：

N. Maes	The Nativity
Hamon	“If I Were the Sombre Winter”
François	Last Summer Days
Ruyperez	The Imitation of Jesus Christ
Bosboom	Cantabimus and Psallemus

I am trying to get another engraving of Rembrandt's “Bible Reading” for you 我正在努力为你去另外找一幅伦勃朗《夜读圣经》的复制品; if possible, I will send it to you in the first box of pictures. Did I send you a lithograph of Troyon's “Morning Effects” and François' “Last Summer Days”? If not, tell me. I have duplicate 完全相同的 copies of them.

And now, be as happy as you can; do well and don' t look back if you can help it.

Believe me, always your loving brother, Vincent

My compliments to Mr. and Mrs. Tersteeg and Mauve. Also to the Van Stockums, Haanebeeks, Aunt Fie and the Rooses!
