*8. M. T. Cicero to Terentia, &c.

1. THe sicknesse of our Tullia doth much trouble me, amid my very great sorrows; concerning whom, there is no cause why I should write more unto you, for I am sure you have as great a care of her as I have.

2. Whereas you desire I should come nearer ha•d▪ I see it is fit∣ting I should do so; and I had done so already, but many things have hindred me, which are not as yet dispatched.

3. But I expect a Letter from Pomponius, which I pray you take care it may be conveyed to me with all speed.

4. Endeavour to keep your health.
