" "Dear friend! I am still staying in Oosterbeek as you can see but I will now leave in 2 days. The last days I spent on two small paintings ordered by Mr. de Visser. I painted them in a happy atmosphere.. .I send them to you because they were still wet when I sent them away and I could hardly do that to Mr. de Visser. Please, do you want to give them a layer of egg-varnish and when you discover here or there a badly seen dash, or you see a chance to make a witty thing in the paintings, oh chap, I pray you do so, because if he doesn't like them, I'll get no bread and have nasty problems, because I need the money so badly.. (translation from the original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)

(version in original Dutch / origineel citaat van Anton Mauve, in het Nederlands:) Ik schilder al mijn doeken naar schetsen.
Our plans were to go to Amsterdam and Laren tomorrow and then spend another day with you.. .I am very busy again with 7 paintings at the same time, I still have a lot to do before I can go to Laren, going to live there. Now, this week I can say it more confidently, - when we find a suitable location.. .We are on a leap of eating out therefore this scribbling.. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)
..the longer I am here Laren, the more beautiful it becomes for me and now that I feel myself more comfortable, I can judge it better.. .It is touching beautiful here [ Laren ], with a delicacy of lines and lovely poetry radiates from everywhere, interior houses, roads, fields, beautiful heath and bushes, and people are of the sweetest kind to imagine.. .Usually after dinner we make a little walk, what I enjoy a lot. I don't know how to say it, but I would like to live here for ever. (translation from original Dutch, Fons Heijnsbroek, 2018)
