Letter 2073: The most distinguished Honoratus has pleased me above all others for his integrity and his way of life.
The most distinguished Honoratus has pleased me above all others for his integrity and his way of life. Where both character and reputation converge in one person, a recommendation is almost superfluous -- and yet friendship demands the courtesy. Please receive him with the favor his virtues deserve, and know that in supporting him, you support a man whose worth I can personally guarantee.
