Letter 525: I sent you a short oration on an important subject.
I sent you a short oration on an important subject. You can add to its length by supplying what is essential to that purpose. If you give that, you will show that you think that I have a talent for encomiums. If you do not give it, I shall be induced to entertain some other suspicions. To what oration is referred is not known.
