Quod scribis, ut te certiorem facerem de his, quae hic aguntur, prorsus non video, quid scribere possim, quam nos valere, suaviter vivere ac tui haud quaquam immemores esse. Quod tuum officium ac, quacumque in re possis, auxilium offers, habeo gratias immortales nec video, quid umquam dignum tam immodica tua erga me benevolentia praestare possim.
