Letter 1063: For now, I'm sending what seemed enough to honor our friendship, given both your busy schedule and the courier's haste.
For now, I'm sending what seemed enough to honor our friendship, given both your busy schedule and the courier's haste. On another occasion, I'll have both the opportunity and the inclination for a longer letter.
May the gods grant our hopes and place the safety of the republic on firm ground! Then I'll be more disposed to write things you'll enjoy reading, and to read things you've written in a more relaxed state of mind. Farewell.
