Letter 056

Paris, 15 March 1876
巴黎 1876年3月15日

Dear Theo,

Thanks for your letter. Please thank Mauve 莫夫 and his wife for theirs also; I enjoyed it very much. I am longing to see the two pictures by Mauve that are destined 预定、指定 for the Salon 沙龙 .

Perhaps Gladwell 哈里·格莱威尔（Harry Gladwell 凡高的朋友和以前的同事） will come back to his old room; he is to have my place at the gallery. 他将接替我的位子。

Are you having gales 大风 at The Hague 海牙 like the ones we are having here? Do you know that I will first go to Etten 埃顿（在开始新的工作之前，凡高打算先回一趟埃顿） , save for something unforeseen 意外的、偶然的 ? I think I will leave the 1st April, perhaps even the 31st March.

Our parents have written me that you also intend to come to Etten. When do you leave?

I hope to have the opportunity 机会 to send you the Longfellow before your departure 离开 ; it is perhaps a good book for a journey.

My hour approaches: just three more weeks. 我（在这儿）的时间不多了，只有3个星期了。 Now and then I have to remind myself, “Be patient and meek.”

Aunt Cornelie has lent me a beautiful book: Kenelm Chillingly by Bulwer-Lytton. It is full of beauty inside. The subject? The son of a rich Englishman who does not find anywhere rest and peace in his life and he tried to find it among the lower classes 下层社会 . He will end up 最终 nevertheless 仍然 by returning home, without regretting anything that he has done.

And now à Dieu, a pleasant journey (enjoy yourself and see many beautiful things) if you leave before my next letter. Always

Your loving brother, Vincent
