Remetente desconhecido → Marcus Tullius Cicero

A letter from you has been delivered to me, a duplicate of the one my couriers brought. I consider that I owe you so much that it is hard to repay. I have written to you about what is happening here. Antonius is on the march, heading for Lepidus; he has not even abandoned hope of Plancus yet, as I noticed from his notebooks which fell into my hands, in which he was writing about whom to send to Asinius, whom to Lepidus, whom to Plancus. Nevertheless I had no doubt, and I immediately sent messengers to Plancus. Within two days I expect envoys from the Allobroges and from all of Gaul, whom I shall send home with their resolve strengthened. Whatever needs to be managed over there, look to it, so that it may be done according to your wishes and the republic's advantage. If you can, counter the ill-will of men toward me; if you cannot, console yourself with this: that no insults can deter me from my course. The day before the Nones of May, from the camp, from the territory of the Statielli.
