Dear Vincent,

There is a hole in the wall and I have not been able to fill it up and the winter will soon be here and the snow will come and I fear, for the house will most certainly flood.
Dear Vincent, I've been away and I do not know now for how long I'll stay and even though I would like to, I wouldn't dare to say.

There is a broken window pane and the floor is rotten and the ghost that used to lurk the attic has abandoned us for good.

There's still a garden but the flowers are dead and I'm afraid I will not see them blossom again.

Dear Vincent won't you come? Come to visit before the fall.
