To Olympius.Letter CCXI. 2798To Olympius. 2799Truly when I read your excellency’s letter I felt unwonted pleasure <strong>and</strong> cheerfulness;<strong>and</strong> when I met your well-beloved sons, I seemed to behold yourself. They found me in thedeepest affliction, but they so behaved as to make me forget the hemlock, which yourdreamers <strong>and</strong> dream mongers are carrying about to my hurt, to please the people who havehired them. Some letters I have already sent; others, if you like, shall follow. I only hopethat they may be of some advantage to the recipients.2798 Placed in 375.2799 cf. <strong>Letters</strong> iv., xii., xiii., cxxxi.712
