Letter 1034: Here's Rusticus, barely freed from his business in Rome.
£n tibi Rusticum vix urbanis negotiis absolutum, cui volo pro nostra amicitia 15
morarum culpam remittas. neque enim laboris fuga indulsit quieti. difficile est hinc

cus videbitur revertisse. sed de hoc non laboro, quando ita es ingenio placabili inter
reliqua virtutum, ut boni consulas errata leviora. illnd me orare inpensius convenit,
tanta ut animo tuo scribendi cura sit, quanto me amore dignaris. vale. 20
XXXI (XXV) post a. 378.
