DCCI (A XIV, 2)
TO ATTICUS (AT ROME)
I received two letters from you yesterday. The first informed me of the scene in the theatre and at Publilius's mime [Note] —a good sign of the unanimous feeling of the people at large. Indeed the applause given to Lucius Cassius appeared to me even a trifle effusive. [Note]
Your second letter was about our friend Bald-pate. [Note] He
has no tendency to savage measures, as you imagine. For he has advanced, though not very far.
I have been detained rather a long time by his talk: but as to what I told you in my last, perhaps I did put it obscurely. It was this. He said Caesar remarked to him, on the occasion of my calling on him at the request of Sestius and having to sit waiting: "Do you suppose I am such a fool as to think that this man, good-natured as he is, can like me, when he has to sit all this time waiting on my convenience?" [Note]
Well then, there is your Bald-pate bitterly opposed to the public peace, that is, to Brutus.
I go to Tusculum today; tomorrow at Lanuvium; thence I think of staying at Astura. I shall be glad to see Pilia, but I could have wished for Attica also. However, I forgive you. Kind regards to both.
