L.A.S. "Jongkind", Paris June 6, 1863, to Eugène BOUDIN; 3 pages and a half in-8: "I often thought of my journey of the past year and of so many proofs of good friendship when I met you in Honfleur and Trouville". He then offers his condolences for the death of his father "that I still remember very well, that this brave man received me with good friendship and memories of Holland [...] We must pray to God, the great consolation and help, and for the peace of your good father's soul. [...] It would be very possible that I will come this year to Le Havre so I will be happy to come and see you. I am still working. My paintings are among the rejects and I am successful. I have seen your painting. It is quite well placed and very good. For the rest I am still suffering, and it takes time and rest to recover"...
