Letter 149: Though absent, you live always present in our memory.
To Olympius.
Though absent, you live always present in our memory. Even if we desperately wanted to, we could not forget the sweetness of your disposition and the sincerity of your character, admirable brother. Every gift you send reminds us not of your generosity — which we take for granted — but of the goodness of the soul behind it.
