CDXXXVII (F XIV, 13)

TO TERENTIA (AT ROME) BRUNDISIUM, 10 JULY

In reference to what I said to you in my last about divorcing Tullia's husband, I don't know what force he has at his back at such a time as this, or what power of stirring up the populace. If he can be dangerous when roused to anger, do nothing. But yet it is possible that he will take the first step. ^[Note] But you must judge after a review of the whole business, and do what you think least distressing in a most distressing business. Good-bye.

10 July.
