Letter 6078: I had planned to pass through Fundi [modern Fondi] if I'd learned you had gone to Formiae [modern Formia].
I had planned to pass through Fundi [modern Fondi] if I'd learned you had gone to Formiae [modern Formia]. Since that didn't happen, I decided to split the journey to reduce the strain. So it will be up to Fortune to make it happen: our plan is to rest at the Formian estate around the 28th of July. That's the intention; the outcome is in heaven's hands. Farewell.
