ANNAEUS SENECA to PAUL Greeting.
I HAVE completed some volumes
and divided them into their
proper parts.
2 I am determined to read them
to Caesar, and if any favourable
opportunity happens, you also
shall be present, when they are
read;
3 But if that cannot be, I will
appoint and give you notice of a
day, when we will together read
over the performance.
4 I had determined, if I could
with safety, first to have your
opinion of it, before I published
it to Caesar, that you might be
convinced of my affection to you.
Farewell, dearest Paul.
CHAP. IV.
PAUL to SENECA Greeting.
AS often as I read your letters,
I imagine you present with
me; nor indeed do I think any
other, than that you are always
with us.
2 As soon therefore as you begin
to come, we shall presently see
each other. I wish you all
prosperity.
