“I am favoured with your obliging letter, and shall finish your picture in two or three days at farthest, and send to Colchester according to your order, with a frame. I thank you. Sir, for your kind intention of procuring me a few heads to paint when I come over, which I purpose doing as soon as some of those are finished which I have [now] in hand. I should be glad if you'd place your picture as far from the light as possible; observing to let the light fall from the left.”

“I take advantage of a painting that I now have at the Paris' exhibition. 3 orphan girls who are sewing in an interior room. I have sold [it] there for a nice price and have heard some interesting reviews published about it. (translation from the original Dutch: Fons Heijnsbroek)”

Jozef Israëls (1824–1911) Dutch painter

version in original Dutch (citaat van Jozef Israëls' brief, in het Nederlands): Ik heb nogal plaizier van eene schilderij die ik thans op de parijsche tentst. Heb. 3 weesmeisjes die in een binnekamer zitten te naaijen. Ik heb [het] daar voor een mooije prijs verkocht en hier en daar interessante kritieken over hooren uitbrengen.
