I would gladly have helped Taburus's brother, whom you asked me to assist, and would have done so without hesitation, if fortune had brought me together with the people who needed to be consulted on his behalf. Let my good intentions satisfy your family loyalty, even though events denied the result I wished for.
I'm still weak but already secure in my recovery as I write this, with the pardon I mentioned. My strength grows all the more as the hope of your swift return draws nearer. Farewell.
