Letter 9092

From: Pope Gregory I To: Theodorus, Curator Date: January 599 AD Context: Gregory commends Peter, a distinguished man, and his mother The bearer of this letter is Peter, a man of excellent character, who travels with his mother. Both are commended to my pastoral care and I now commend them to yours. They are in need of whatever assistance and advocacy your position allows you to provide. Please receive them well and render whatever help you can. Peter in particular is known to us as a man of integrity who deserves better from the world than he has sometimes received.
