• Letter 282 to Theo van Gogh. The Hague, Tuesday, 14 November 1882. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Last week I did another trial of the figure Sorrow on what I had left of the printing paper."
• Letter 283 to Theo van Gogh. The Hague, Thursday, 16 or Friday, 17 November 1882. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "Herewith you’re receiving the very first impression of Sorrow. I’ve also enclosed one with a bigger margin for Heyerdahl and an earlier one for Buhot, but because they’re bigger I don’t know whether the post office will accept them. Of course you can take whichever you like and get more impressions of whichever you like, but I’ve marked the very first ones 1^re épreuve."
• Letter 285 to Theo van Gogh. The Hague, Wednesday, 22 November 1882. Vincent van Gogh: The Letters. Van Gogh Museum. "I hope you’ve now received the roll of lithographs with Sorrow in it and the letter. I mention it again to be sure, not because I already expected an answer."
