I am rather busy

Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Nuenen, 6 August 1885

Just a line to welcome you. . . .

I am rather busy, as they are reaping the corn in the fields, for, as you know, this lasts only a few days, and it is one of the most beautiful things.

But I will take care to be in the studio between 3 and 5. . . .

You must not be offended when I go on with my work.
