Your letter has kept me in suspense, and I'm anxious to hear encouraging news. What have the doctors' treatment and your own restraint accomplished for your health? I'm eager to know.

TO LOLLIANUS:
You offered your first letter freely; now mine must draw out a second from you. Accept this greeting and repay the courtesy. I promise equal diligence in our exchange.
