Letter 3027: Ad archidiaconum de Meldis
XXVII. Ad archidiaconum de Meldis
To the Archdeacon of Meaux
If I had been allowed to see your face even for a moment, I would have given many words for such a great gift. Your dear goodwill sent us new wine [mustum — new wine, an autumn gift], and sweet gifts reveal a sweet spirit. Without having met me, you were ready to refresh a man you had not seen — what would you do for one who is known to you and is present?
May God give you abundantly — you who hold in faithful mind, great minister, the pastoral care of the bishop's flock.
