den Haag 13 December 1872.

\\
Waarde Theo,
\\
Dat was een goed \\nieuws, dat ik daar uit Pa’s \\brief las.\footnote[1]{\TeiAnchor{
The news was that on 1 January 1873 Theo was to start work at the Brussels branch of the art dealer Goupil \& Co., 58 rue Montagne de la Cour (Hofbergstraat).

\\
\TeiAbV{Ik twijfel niet of je zult er \\wel pleizier in krijgen, het \\is zoo’n mooie zaak.–}
\\
\TeiAbV{Het zal een heele verandering \\voor je zijn.}
\\
\TeiAbV{Het doet mij zooveel genoegen \\dat wij nu beiden in het zelfde \\vak \& in de zelfde zaak zijn;\footnote[2]{\TeiAnchor{
Van Gogh worked as an assistant at the Hague branch of Goupil \& Co. located at Plaats 14.

\\
\TeiAbV{Ik hoop zoo dat ik je nog \\zien zal, voor je vertrek, wij \\zullen dan nog veel te \\bepraten hebben.–}
\\
\TeiAbV{Ik geloof dat Brussel wel \\een heel pleizierige stad is \\maar het zal toch vreemd zijn \\in het begin.–}
\\
\TeiAbV{Schrijf mij in alle geval eens \\
spoedig. }
\\
\TeiAbV{
En nu adieu, dit is maar een enkel \\
woordje in haast, maar ik moest \\
je toch eens zeggen dat het \\mij zooveel genoegen deed. }
\\
\TeiAbV{Heb het goed \& geloof mij steeds}

\\
je liefh. broêr

\\
Ik beklaag je dat je iederen dag \\naar Oisterwijk moet in dit hondenweer. \\Groeten van de familie Roos.–

The Hague, 13 December 1872.

My dear Theo,

That was good news that I just read in Pa\footnote{
Theodorus van Gogh

(1822-1885) husband of Anna Cornelia van Gogh-Carbentus, father of Vincent, clergyman
}’s letter.\footnote[1]{\TeiAnchor{
The news was that on 1 January 1873 Theo was to start work at the Brussels branch of the art dealer Goupil \& Co., 58 rue Montagne de la Cour (Hofbergstraat).
}} My hearty congratulations.

\TeiAbIII{I don’t doubt that it will give you pleasure, it’s such a fine firm.}

\TeiAbIII{It will be a big change for you.}

\TeiAbIII{I’m so glad that both of us are now in the same line of business, and in the same firm;\footnote[2]{\TeiAnchor{
Van Gogh worked as an assistant at the Hague branch of Goupil \& Co. located at Plaats 14. 
}} we must correspond often. 
\marginpar{[1v:2]}
}

\TeiAbIII{I hope so much to see you before you leave, we’ll have a lot to talk about.}

\TeiAbIII{I believe that Brussels is a very pleasant city, though it will seem strange at first.}

\TeiAbIII{At all events, write to me soon.}

\TeiAbIII{And now adieu, these are only a few words written in haste, but I just had to tell you how very glad I was.}

\TeiAbIII{I wish you well, and believe me ever,}

Your loving brother

Vincent

I pity your having to go to Oisterwijk every day in this beastly weather. Regards from the Rooses\footnote{
Willem Marinus Roos

(1816-1893) lodging-house keeper in The Hague
}.
