Letter 6050: City business -- I have neither the time to learn about it nor the desire to write about it.

City business -- I have neither the time to learn about it nor the desire to write about it. My mind, occupied by bodily illness, can't spare attention for other people's affairs. One thing I do know: the reports of riots were lies. The rumors are so far from the truth that the prefecture has never been celebrated with greater applause. The people's enthusiasm for the magistrate is matched by the Senate's own favor. This news reaches me -- when the pain lets up enough to receive visitors -- from everyone in equal terms. For the details of public life, your own people, who are out and about in the city, should fill you in with their pen. I'll worry about other people's business once my own troubles have subsided. Farewell.
