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.

感謝你的信, 很高興聽到你平安到家了. 在你剛回去的頭幾天, 我很想念你, 每天下午回到家卻找不到你總讓我覺得很奇怪
 

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

我們在一起過了不少享受的時間, 也在細雨中散過幾次步, 看過一兩個名勝
 

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

多可怕的天氣!! 在你步往Oisterwijk的過程中, 你一定是中暑(?)了吧

昨天因為展覽會而有騎馬比賽, 但照明和煙火都因為天氣太差而推遲了, 所以你沒留下來看也是好的

來自Haanebeek and Roos families的問候

 

 

Always your loving
Vincent.
 

At this time, Vincent was 19 year old

P.S. harness是馬具...但馬具比賽也太奇怪, 上馬具比賽也很奇怪...所以私自用了"騎馬比賽"
