Letter 1031: You ask what I'm up to.
Quid agam, sctre postulas. opperior in dies litteras, quales nunc mihi facultas
15 tua promittit, amor semper exhibuit. sum vero praesentium laetus, ut qui sciam, nihil
insidiatori meo loci relictum atque insuper tibi, cui factum semper volo, meritam
poUiceri fortunam. ergo quando ita res tulit, ut sollicita mutarentur, optati sermonis
tui fructum feramus, qui animum mihi exaugeat atque indicet, pro tanta retro familia-
ritate mei te oppido esse cupientem. vale.
20 xxvm (xxn) a. 370—378.
