Letter 1090: If the opportunity to write came often enough, my will would never fail to match it.
If the opportunity to write came often enough, my will would never fail to match it. Proof: the moment a reliable chance presented itself through our mutual friend, I gladly seized the duty of writing.
I knew my letter would be all the more welcome if it was delivered by a messenger you know and trust — someone who'll faithfully convey not just the letter but a full account of how things stand with me.
