To the prefects’ officer.^24762476    On the same subject.

You know the bearer from meeting him in the town.  Nevertheless I write to commend him to you, that he may be useful to you in many matters in which you are interested, from his being able to give pious and sensible advice.  Now is the time to carry out what you have said to me in private; I mean when this my brother has told you the state of the poor.
