CCCLXIX (A IX, 13 a)
BALBUS TO CICERO (AT FORMIAE)
Caesar has sent me a very short note, of which I append a copy.
From the shortness of the letter you will be able to gather that he is
much occupied, or he would not have written so briefly on so
important a subject. If I get any farther intelligence I will at once
write you word.
On the 9th of March I reached Brundisium. I have pitched my camp
under the walls. Pompey is at Brundisium. He sent Numerius
Magius to me to negotiate for peace.
[Note]
I answered as I thought right.
I wished you to
know this at once. As soon as I see any prospect of success in coming
to terms, I will at once inform you of it.
CAESAR TO OPPIUS AND CORNELIUS
You can imagine, my dear Cicero, my state of torturing anxiety, after having again conceived some hope of peace, lest any circumstance should prevent their coming to terms. For I earnestly wish it, which is all I can do at this distance. If I were only there, I might perhaps possibly seem of some use in the matter; as it is, I am wracked with anxious suspense.
