Letter from Van Gogh to his brother, requesting art supplies (adjusted for inflation)

Dearest Brother,

I know you're on your honeymoon, but...

Please send $2,408 worth of paint ASAP to Arles. This is in addition to the $1,000 order I sent you earlier this week (which I have yet to receive, by the way.)

Also needed ASAP: 10 meters canvas.

Please hurry, brother. South France ain't gonna paint itself.

And say 'hey' to your new wife from me.

With a cordial hearty handshake,

Vincent "got no supplies" Van Gogh.
