DCXC (F XVI, 20)
TO TIRO (AT TUSCULUM)
ROME (DECEMBER)
Upon my life, my dear Tiro, your health makes
me very uneasy. But I feel confident that if you
continue to take the same care as you have begun
to do, you will soon be strong. Arrange the books,
get the catalogue made when it pleases Metrodorus,
1
since you have to live according to his orders.
Settle with the gardener as you think right. You
can go to see the gladiators on the first, and
return home next day. And I think that is what you
had better do. But as you please. Take great care
of yourself, if you love me. Good-bye.
