CDXXXI (F XIV, II)

TO TERENTIA (AT ROME)
BRUNDISIUM, 14 JUNE
If you are well, I am glad. I am well. Our dear Tullia reached me on the 12th of June, by whose perfect excellence and unsurpassed gentleness I felt my sorrow even heavier than before, to think that my want of prudence was the cause of her being in a position far removed from that which her dutiful affection and high character might claim. 1 It is in my mind to send our son to Caesar, and Gnaeus Sallustius with him. If he starts I will let you know. Take great care of your health. Good—bye.

14 June.


1 Tullia's dowry had not been fully paid, and the instalments paid had been squandered. See pp.39, 44, etc.
