To Olympius. 2799<br />

Letter CCXI. 2798<br />

Truly when I read your excellency’s letter I felt unwonted pleasure <strong>and</strong> cheerfulness;<br />

<strong>and</strong> when I met your well-beloved sons, I seemed to behold yourself. <strong>The</strong>y found me in the<br />

deepest affliction, but they so behaved as to make me forget the hemlock, which your<br />

dreamers <strong>and</strong> dream mongers are carrying about to my hurt, to please the people who have<br />

hired them. Some letters I have already sent; others, if you like, shall follow. I only hope<br />

that they may be of some advantage to the recipients.<br />
