The Hague.

Dear Theo,

Many thanks for your letter, I was glad to hear you arrived home safely. I missed you the first few days and it felt strange not to find you there when I came home in the afternoons.

We have had some enjoyable days together, and managed to take a few walks and see one or two sights between the pots of rain.

What dreadful weather! You must have sweltered in the heat on your walks to Oisterwijk. There was harness racing yesterday at the exhibitions; but the illuminations and the fireworks were put off because of bad weather, so it's just as well you didn't stay to see them. Regards from Haanebeck and Roos families.

Always your lovng Vincent.
