Letter 7015: ...I entered Milan on the day before the Kalends of March [February 28], after a long and winding detour.
...I entered Milan on the day before the Kalends of March [February 28], after a long and winding detour. I've paid my respects to the emperor, whose gracious words more than compensated for the hardship of the road. I'm postponing the real business until the arrival of the distinguished count [comes], who is expected soon, God willing, according to the latest reports. For now, my pride, make it your task to comfort the worries of my travels with a steady pen.
