Letter 82: A Recommendation

[1] To his Brother

Who, who should be admired by your peers? He that is prudent, orderly, well educated, and religious. In a word, such a man as Gerontius. [2] Now you have the man together with the letter. When you have made his acquaintance, you will say that my praise was not unmerited.
