Letter 28

Marcus AureliusMarcus Cornelius Fronto|c. 147 AD|Marcus Cornelius Fronto|Human translated

145–147 A.D. To my master. I shall have the whole day free. If you have ever loved me at all, love me to-day, and send me a rich subject, I ask and request and beseech and entreat and implore. For in that law-court subject I found nothing but exclamations. Farewell, best of masters. My Lady greets you. I want something where there ought to be shouts of approval. Humour me and pick out a "shouting" subject.
