Letter 6065: Our Senate's delegates have returned after handling everything successfully.
Our Senate's delegates have returned after handling everything successfully. The conscription levy has been dropped, and we've been granted a remission on silver [tax relief]. Even so, further negotiations on the terms are still expected.
But enough of public business -- let me turn to what matters more to your heart. My health is holding up. I often break up my time in the city with short stays in the nearby countryside. The only thing that really wears on me is your absence. But if you come see us soon, we'll happily escort you back to Campania when you're ready to go.
