Cicero to Quintus Gallius. Epist. 44.
THough both by your own letters, and those of Lucius Oppius my fa∣miliar friend, I vnderstood, that you haue b••ene minde••ull of my r••com∣mendation: whereat I wondred not, considering your infinite loue towards ••e, and the great friendship that pas∣s••th betwixt vs. Yet once againe, with all care I recommend vnto you, Lucius Oppius present, and the affaires of my most familiar friend Lucius Egna∣tius, being absent; The friendship, and familiaritie I hold with him is so great, that if mine owne Interests were han∣dled, I could not bee any waies more care••ull. You shall therefore doe me a speciall fauour, if you so effect, that he may perceiue, that I am so much belo∣ued of you, as I seeme to perswade my selfe to be. You can not doe me a grea∣ter pleasure: and I earnestly request it. Far••well.
