Seneca to Paul, greeting. I know that you are not so much disturbed on your own account by my letter to you on the showing of your letters to Caesar, as by the nature of things, which so calls away the minds of men from all right learning and conduct, so that I am not surprised, for I have learnt this for certain by many examples.
2Let us then act differently, and if in the past anything has been done carelessly, you will pardon it. I have sent you a book on elegance of expression. Farewell, dearest Paul.
