Full of hope since you announced your forthcoming visit, I'm putting the spur to those already hurrying, and I ask your help in this: urge forward as champion what others have already set in motion. My memory of your kindness will stand forever, and it won't stay silent — provided you see to the tasks my brothers have delegated. Farewell.
