Paris, Sunday, 9 February You gave us great pleasure with your last letter, 1 and fortunately we can see that things are going fairly well as regards your health. Things are going well at home with us, Jo is nursing the baby and has no lack of milk, and the little one sometimes lies down with his eyes wide open and his fists against his face. Then he has the look of being completely well. He has blue eyes like the baby 1v:2 you painted, 2 and fat cheeks.
He gives his mother all sorts of trouble, but that seems inevitable and she bears it very well. This morning Wil left, she gave us a lot of help in the household. She understood the female nudes very well. One morning, too, we were in the Louvre, where several paintings 1v:3 have been moved. Yesterday Gauguin came to Paris and he asked a lot of questions about you. He has come here to see if he can find a position to do anything at all to earn his living, 8 for it seems that De Haan is very hard up too.
De Haan sent me a painting to dispatch to his brother. I hope that your health will continue to be good and that the things that make you worry will disappear. Warm regards from Jo , be of good heart, and thank you again for your kind letter. Source status: Original manuscript. Ongoing topic: Willemien is staying with Theo and Jo Search this letter print.
