Someday it will surely sell
Mauve has been to see me and Mr. Tersteeg also, and I am very glad of it. I have been working all the time now in watercolor, and I am getting to like it more and more....
...I am making progress and I shall learn to make watercolors, and then it will not be so very long before my work becomes saleable.
Mr. Tersteeg himself said something about it, and if some of those smaller ones turn out well, he will probably buy some. And I have completed still further the drawing of the little old woman which I sent you a sketch of, and someday it will surely sell.
