His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:& r6 p( v* r# G" y! C

I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
