Letter 1107: ...Fortune has seized my hand; she's dragged me back against my will.

[The source text preserves only the closing lines of this letter, followed by manuscript apparatus and editorial notes.] ...be angry. The one hand laid hold, the other drew me back against my will. And so, fickle as she ever is, let her not persuade you that I was unwilling to set out. Farewell. [The remainder of the source consists of editorial critical apparatus and not letter content: a list of manuscript variant readings (e.g. "tuo] tibi in manuscript F"; further variants noted by line number for manuscripts P, V, and M); an editorial conjecture; the running header "BOOK I. 41"; an editor's Latin note remarking that the sense here was roughly: "if to those griefs of so untimely a death the care of my travels were joined"; and the letter's enumeration "102 (96)."]
