Letter 3060: The sight of your family will certainly fill you with joy.
The sight of your family will certainly fill you with joy. But I suspect that happiness can be increased further if my letter joins the celebration. For while your first concern is naturally your household, friendship rightly claims the next place.
So once your dear ones have satisfied your longing, let your eyes turn to my letter as well. Its main point is simply this: I'm well. I don't want to keep you too long from the conversations with your own people.
