patched up. I wish you had told me why you think so: for my part, nothing occurs to my mind to make me think it possible. However, pray write and tell me if there is anything to suggest any consolation: but if, as I am clear, there is nothing of that nature, write and tell me even that fact. I, on my side, will write you word of anything which reaches me first. Good-bye.

CCCCXL (F XIV, 24)
TO TERENTIA (AT ROME)
Brundisium, 11 August
If you are well, I am glad. I am well. Neither about
Cæsar's coming nor of the letter, of which Philotimus is
said to be the bearer, have I as yet any certain intelligence.
If I do get any such, I will inform you promptly. Be sure
you take good care of your health. Good-bye.

CCCCXLI (F XIV, 23)
TO TERENTIA (AT ROME)
Brundisium, 12 August
If you are well, I am glad. I am well. At last I have
Cæsar's letter, and a kind enough one it is. He himself is
said to be coming quicker than was thought. When I have
made up my mind whether to go to meet him or await him
here, I will let you know. I should like you to send letter-carriers
at the first opportunity. Take good care of your
health. Good-bye.
12 August.
