". . . I am making slow progress with my pictures; every day there are new effects, and those effects that come with a little sunshine are the slowest to get done. Here comes the fog . . . . My health is mostly all right; it is this abominable food that I cannot get used to; but patience, as long as I can do my work and sell my pictures. No news from [art dealer Alphonse] Portier."
