Mijnheer, Of ik Zaturdag a.s. kan komen schilderen weet ik niet zeker _ – Omdat ik een paar studies aan ’t maken ben hier – van het aardappelzetten – waar ik dien dag in kwestie welligt aan zal moeten blijven werken. Doch indien niet Zaturdag dan kom ik toch – tenzij in geval van tegenberigt uwerzijds – Maandag. b. à v. Vincent Dear Sir , I’m not sure whether I can come and paint next Saturday. Because I’m making a couple of studies here — of the potato planting — on which I may possibly have to continue to work on the day in question. But if not Saturday, I’ll come anyway — unless I hear from you to the contrary — on Monday. Yours truly, Vincent One of these studies is still extant: Man and a woman planting potatoes ( F 129a / JH 727 ), after which the letter sketch of the same name was made ( F - / JH 728 ). The composition of the other one is now known only from Two women working in the fields ( F 1228 / JH 730 ), the sketch enclosed with letter 492 .
