Without address.Letter XXXVI. 2019Without address.It has, I think, been long known to your excellency that the presbyter of this place is afoster brother of my own. What more can I say to induce you in your kindness, to viewhim with a friendly eye, <strong>and</strong> give him help in his affairs? If you love me, as I know you do,I am sure that you will endeavour, to the best of your power, to relieve any one whom I lookupon as a second self. What then do I ask? That he do not lose his old rating. Really hetakes no little trouble in ministering to my necessities, because I, as you know, have nothingof my own, but depend upon the means of my friends <strong>and</strong> relatives. Look, then, upon mybrother’s house as you would on mine, or let me rather say, on your own. In return for yourkindness to him God will not cease to help alike yourself, your house, <strong>and</strong> your family. Besure that I am specially anxious lest any injury should be done to him by the equalizationof rates.2019 Placed before 370.424
