CDXXII (F XIV, 16)

TO TERENTIA (AT ROME) BRUNDISIUM, 4 JANUARY

If you are well, I am glad. I am well. Though my circumstances are such that I have no motive for expecting a letter from you or anything to tell you myself, yet somehow or another I do look for letters from you all, and do write to you when I have anyone to convey it. Volumnia ought to have been more attentive to you than she has been, and even what she has done she might have done with greater zeal and caution. However, there are other things for us to

be more anxious about and vexed at. These latter distress me quite as much as was desired by those who forced me to act against my better judgment. [Note] Take care of your health.

4 January.
