Whereas you write vnto mee, that I should procure you to haue the charge, of some of those festiuities, which are to be celebrated in the coun∣tries: I haue talked therof, with Oppius: for I saw not Balbus, since your depar∣ture, being so troubled with a paine in his feet, that he comes not abroad. But you should doe much more wisely, not to seeke these employments; for you cannot by this, colour your designes: Caesars friends being multiplied in such aboundance, that hee rather leaues some, then lets any new ones take place; especially if hee bring nothing but endeauour. wherein he will think, that hee hath done you a fauour, yea, though hee should know, that you did not receiue it. Neuerthelesse, wee'l see what hope there is: for if there be none, I would aduise you rather, to estrange your thoughts from it, then to haue a desire thereof. I thinke to stay some daies in Astura, till Caesar comes thi∣ther. Farewell.
