Some chance of making progress
Vincent van Gogh to Theo van Gogh, from Antwerp, early February 1886
I keep feeling satisfied with having come here, otherwise I should have remained in a fix; and now, though there are still many difficulties, I see some chance of making progress.
And by staying here somewhat longer, or by going to Paris, I shall get an even firmer hold.
I see that year of drawing from which I'm afraid there's no escape.
