Letter 1088: At last my health has been restored — it had been quarreling with me for some time.
At last my health has been restored — it had been quarreling with me for some time. Now I share the good news with you, though I kept you out of my earlier troubles. Even so, I know that during the period when illness was blocking my duty, you didn't stop writing.
All that remains is for you to reward my attentiveness in kind. That will both prove your concern and supply some fuel for my recovery.
