Marcus Tullius Cicero→Terentia|c. 53 BC|Cicero|From Rome|To Rome|Human translated
I have written to Pomponius about what I think should be done, later than I should have. If you have spoken with him, you will understand what I wish. Since I had written to him, it was not necessary to write more openly. Please send me a letter as soon as possible about this matter and about everything else. Take most careful care of your health. Farewell. The seventh day before the Ides of July.
CDXXXVI (Fam. XIV, 10) TO TERENTIA (AT ROME) BRUNDISIUM, 9 JULY: I wrote my wishes to Pomponius later than I ought to have done If you will have a talk with him, you will learn what they are. There is no need of being more explicit, seeing that I have written to him. On that business and on all others pray let me have a letter from you. Take good care of your health. Good-bye. 9 July.
X. Scr. Brundisii VII. Idus Quinctiles a.u.c. 707. TULLIUS S. D. TERENTIAE SUAE.
Quid fieri placeret, scripsi ad Pomponium serius quam oportuit: cum eo si locuta eris, intelliges, quid fieri velim; apertius scribi, quoniam ad illum scripseram, necesse non fuit. De ea re et de ceteris rebus quam primum velim nobis litteras mittas. Valetudinem tuam cura diligenter. Vale. VII Idus Quinctiles.
