Letter 6076: I'm in agony from kidney pain.
I'm in agony from kidney pain. But so that the rumors reaching your ears don't exaggerate my condition, I wanted to give you a brief account of where things stand. When better days come, I'll follow my usual habit and send you a more cheerful page. Farewell.
