Frequenter hortatus es , ut epistulas , si quas paulo curatius scripsissem , colligerem publicaremque . Collegi non servato temporis ordine — neque enim historiam componebam — , sed ut quaeque in manus venerat . 2 Superest ut nec te consilii nec me paeniteat obsequii . Ita enim fiet , ut eas quae adhuc neglectae iacent requiram et si quas addidero non supprimam . Vale .
YOU
have
frequently
pressed
me
to
make
a
select
collection
of
my
Letters
(
if
there
really
be
any
deserving
of
a
special
preference
)
and
give
them
to
the
public
.
I
have
selected
them
accordingly
;
not
,
indeed
,
in
their
proper
order
of
time
,
for
I
was
not
compiling
a
history
;
but
just
as
each
came
to
hand
.
And
now
I
have
only
to
wish
that
you
may
have
no
reason
to
repent
of
your
advice
,
nor
I
of
my
compliance
:
in
that
case
,
I
may
probably
enquire
after
the
rest
,
which
at
present
be
neglected
,
and
preserve
those
I
shall
hereafter
write
.
Farewell
.
