My work is becoming more and more absorbing
I received your last letter with the 100 fr. enclosed in good order, and thank you very warmly for sending it.
I should have acknowledged it at once, but I was very busy with a few drawings, for which I had a model.
For you should bear in mind that if you are busy, it is the same with me, and will be increasingly so because my work is becoming more and more absorbing to me, and it is only with effort that I tear myself away from it to write a letter or call on someone when necessary.
To Theo van Gogh, from The Hague, 25 February 1882, Letter 177
