Letter 5062: You ask how I am and what I am doing.
Quaeris, ut valeam, vel quid rerum geram. respondeo percontationi tuae ex amore
10 venienti. agri quiete delector. baec mihi et a^ris praestat salubritatem et pabnlum
lectionis. saepe oculos pasco culturis , quas hibema exercet operatio. tibi et valetu-
dinem secundare et memoriam nostrae amicitiae superesse amplissime gratulor. silentii
vero mei non est iniusta causatio; nihil enim, quod scriberem, suppetebat, simulque
occupato tibi auditione causarum verebar obstrepere, ne multis negotiis tuis onus ad-
15 deret loquacitas otiosi.
LXXVim (LXXVII).
