Without address. Concerning Hera.<br />

Letter CCLXXV. 3231<br />

You have anticipated my entreaties in your affection for my very reverend brother Hera,<br />

<strong>and</strong> you have been better to him than I could have prayed for you to be in the abundant<br />

honour which you have shewn him, <strong>and</strong> the protection which you have extended to him<br />

on every occasion. But I cannot allow his affairs to go unnoticed by a word, <strong>and</strong> I must beseech<br />

your excellency that for my sake you will add something to the interest you have shewn<br />

in him, <strong>and</strong> will send him back to his own country victorious over the revilings of his enemies.<br />

Now many are trying to insult the peacefulness of his life, <strong>and</strong> he is not beyond the<br />

reach of envy’s shafts. Against his foes we shall find one sure means of safety, if you will<br />

consent to extend your protection over him.<br />
