Vincent thanks Theo for his letter of ‘yesterday’ (l. 1*). This was letter 781 of 16 June, which must have reached Vincent on 17 or 18 June. In Brieven 1914, Jo van Gogh-Bonger dated Vincent’s letter to 19 June 1889; it is possible she relied on a postmark giving the mailing date. We therefore date the letter to about Tuesday, 18 June 1889.
