After I gave your assistant Gaudentius a letter reporting on my completed journey, an imperial agent brought me sacred letters matching our hopes and desires. The news they contained was encouraging, and I hasten to share it with you. May the gods continue to favor our endeavors. I look forward to your reply and to hearing that you have received the good news with the same joy that I felt upon reading it.
