".So please write me about it, do you believe that Saar [their daughter, 10 years old] must go, Suze? In that case send me a money order with that amount [for the travel costs of Saar; friends want to take her with them, on holiday]. I have almost no money left but for a few days. How to finish my painting so that Zürcher [art-seller] will buy it, the sky may know.. .If I had the gift of you to paint a simple thing nicely together then I certainly would do, but in my case people are used to a kind of painting that is completely finished; otherwise I will have no chance to sell it. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)"
