Ep. LXXIII.

As to the subject of your letter, these are my sentiments.  I am not angry at being overlooked, but I am glad when I am honoured.  The one is my own desert, the other is a proof of your respect.  Pray for me.  Excuse this short letter, for anyhow, though it is short, it is longer than silence.
