" "I repainted the only unsold picture that was [exhibited] in Rotterdam last year. It seems to me that it looks quite pleasing and good now.. .I want you to ask him [the client] seven hundred guilders.. ..for six hundred as lowest price I would be willing to sell it and if you think - knowing him - it would be better to ask that price at once, so do it.

(original Dutch: citaat van Willem Roelofs, in het Nederlands:) [intentie tot het maken van een ontdekkingsreis door Holland] ..zowel met het doel van die op te nemen als schilder als in mijne qualiteit van entomoloog [specialisme snuitkevers].. ..welke gedeelten, provincieën of streken van ons land [zijn] 'het minst' uit entomologisch oogpunt bezocht..?
Dear Sir Verloren. Today I send you a drawing for your art-reviews. I would liked to have done more for you, but I have many demands for drawings from all sides and I am still very busy with paintings after my studies I made during the last trip. I hope that the drawing will be acceptable. The price is 150 guilders. I am not sure you need a title, call it just simply, 'Bij een Drentsch dorp' (At a village in Drenthe).
