Inscription

in pen and brown ink: [postcard to Mr. Kerssemakers - translation] Dear Sir, I am not sure whether I shall be able to come and paint next Saturday. Because I am making some studies of the planting of potatoes here, on which I shal perhaps be obliged to go on working on the day in question. But if not on Saturday, I shall certainly come next Monday - unless I hear from you to the contrary. Sincerely / Vincent; postmarked on verso: 1885
