Letter 10056: **From:** Gregory I, Bishop of Rome

I commend to your kindness Gregorius, a former prefect, who is known to me personally. He may have occasion to seek your assistance in some matter, and I ask you to receive him well. He is not a man who asks for what he does not need, and any help you give him will be well placed. I will consider it a personal kindness.
