CDXXXVIII (A XI, 19)
TO ATTICUS (AT ROME)
As I had the opportunity of giving a letter to your servants I would not pass it by, though I have nothing to say. You yourself write to me more rarely than you used, and more briefly: I suppose because you have nothing to say which you suppose that I can read or hear with pleasure. But indeed I would have you write, whatever and of what kind soever it may be. The fact is that there is only one thing capable of exciting a wish in me—the chance of negociation for peace: and of that I have absolutely no hope. But
because from time to time you hint faintly at it, you compel me to hope for what hardly admits of a wish.
IPhilotimus is announced for the 13th of August. [Note] I have no farther information about him. Please let me have an answer to my previous letter to you. All the time I need is just enough to allow of my taking some precautions—I who never took any. Good-bye.
22 July.
