"Dear Theo, All is lost! Today is the day that also wanted to make a proposal of marriage to Claire, and I felt a little tense. She looks great in her white muslin dress, straw hat and bared gums. When you sit in the dentist's chair and put suction tube into the mouth, and my heart would jump out of excitement. I tried to be romantic. Diminished light conversation and headed to jolly things. Both undertook less gas for anesthesia. When the time comes, I looked her straight in the eye and said, Please rinse is. And she laughed! Yes, Theo! She laughed at me, and then angry. Do you think I can rinse a man like you? What kind of joke? She asked me. But please do not misunderstand me, I said. I understand very well! I cannot rinse with anyone except a licensed specialist dentures! How do you make that will rinse here! Get out of my sight! After having spoken these words, she began to sob and fled. Theo! I want to die! Looking at my face in the mirror and I go smash it! Smash it! I hope you're well. Vincent *** Dear Theo Yes, it's true. The ear, which is sold in stores for rare items brothers Fleischmann is mine. I understand that it was stupid to do it, but last Sunday I wanted to send a gift to Claire for her birthday, and all the shops were closed. Well, anyway. Sometimes I regret not being listened to the advice of my father and I became an artist. Not as exciting, but the artist at least a normal life Vincent"
"Dear Theo, I am in love. Last week checkup came Claire Memling. I was also sent a postcard in which I wrote that it has been six months since the last cleaning of the teeth and, even though they had been only four days! Theo, this woman is driving me crazy! Distraught desire! Ah, what a bite! In my life have I seen such a bite! Teeth and match perfectly! Not like Mrs Itkin, whose lower teeth protrude about three centimeters and above and look like a werewolf! No no! Claire teeth are great! In such cases, convinced that there is a God! Yet it is not perfect. Not so much so as to be uninteresting. Between the lower ninth and eleventh tooth has an empty space. Tenth tooth lost in sledpubertetnata age. Suddenly and without warning developed tooth decay. Remove it very easy (in fact he fell, as he spoke) and in its place and not put new. Nothing can replace the lower right tooth, she told me. It was for me a lot more than tooth, it was my life. Avoid mentioning the tooth and I think she spoke with me on this because trust me. Oh, Theo, love it! Today, I peering into his mouth and I felt young again and timid student of dentistry and began to ooze inside pads and mirrors. Then I hugged her and show her how to properly brush his teeth with a brush. Sweet little fool was accustomed to holding the brush still and moving her head right and left. Next Tuesday will anesthetize and will ask her to be my wife. Vincent *** Dear Theo again quarreled with Gauguin and he went to Tahiti. Bothered him just removing a tooth ... Currently leading the usual skirmish between dentist and patient and I had the imprudence to go right then and ask whether he had seen Gauguin felt my hat. Gauguin was furious! He grabbed me, pushed my head into the X-ray machine and kept me so ten minutes. For a few hours I could not blink simultaneously with both eyelid. Now I'm lonely.

"Dear Theo, Will it finally life relate properly with me? Despair destroys me! My head is sprayed! Mrs. Sol Schwimmer brought an action against me because I've built the bridge as I feel it, not as ridiculous suits and mouth! I cannot work on demand as a simple craftsman! I decided her bridge to be impressive and vaulted, with wild, rousing teeth protruding in all directions as flames! She is upset because the bridge do not fit in the mouth and! Stupid comes straight to my crush! I tried to shove the bridge by force, but he sticks out like sparkling chandelier. Nevertheless, I find it beautiful. She says she could not chew! What do I care if she can chew! Theo, I more so! I asked Cezanne to work in general office. But he is old and tired, not able to hold tools and they must be tied to his wrists. Then it can work precisely and tucked them once in the mouth, killing his teeth instead fix them. What to do? Vincent *** Dear Theo This week I did some dental X-rays, which I consider to be very successful. Degas saw them and criticized them. He said weak in compositional terms. All cavities were clustered in the lower left corner. I explained that this is the mouth of Mrs. Slotkin, but he would not even listen to me. He said that within not haresvali- mahogany stood awkwardly. Once gone, choppy pictures of pieces. I did not have this story, but I began to straighten the root of a tooth Mrs. Wilma Zardis, but in the middle of the work despondent. I suddenly realized that the root canal is not what I want to do! My face burned, my head swam. I ran away from the office, where I could breathe freely! For several days I lost consciousness and woke up on the beach. When I returned, she was still in the dentist's chair. I finished work on duty, but I had no strength to sign it. Vincent"
