I can hardly call it friendly
Vincent van Gogh to Anthon van Rappard, from Nuenen, 25 February 1884
I can hardly call it friendly that you haven't written me a single word in all this time; but as I suppose you will agree with me on this point more or less, I will not pursue the subject right now. . . .
I have thought repeatedly about the fact that we made some sort of agreement that I was to send you a few watercolors this winter. But, as I heard absolutely nothing from you, I must tell you frankly that I did not feel the slightest inclination to do so. So the whole thing came to nothing - although I have done some.
