Letter 7067: I'm certain that nothing delights your heart more than letters from friends.
I'm certain that nothing delights your heart more than letters from friends. That's why I write so readily, knowing how much weight such exchanges carry with a man of your distinction. All that remains is for you to match the warmth with which you receive my letters by sending regular reports of your own good health. Farewell.

Certum babeo, nihil apud animum tuum amicorum litteris esse iucundius, et ideo
promptissime frequento conloquia, quae scio apud eximium virum magni esse momenti.
superest, ut ipse, quam benigne litteras meas sumis, tam libenter indicia propriae
sospitatis emittas.
CXVmi. t5
