Letter 5033: My affection for you urged me to write; the haste of the departing courier limited me to a few words.
Amor quidem tuns suasit, ut scriberem, praeterenntis festinatio, ut panca dicta-
rem. quare salntatione contentus, quae etsi non explet officium, tamen contestatnr
adfectum, redde invicem, quae legamus, et si necesse est, aemulare brevitatem. nam &
cum sim nitidissimi sermonis tui cupidus^ conscientia tamen huius angustae paginae
non audeo a te verborum copiam postulare.
