The Letters of Cicero, Volume 1 The Whole Extant Correspodence in Chronological Order · Marcus Tullius Cicero
FORMIÆ, APRIL
"My native mountains and my childhood's haunts."[235] In fine, if I can't be alone I would rather be with downright countryfolk than with such ultra-cockneys. However, I shall, since you don't say anything for certain, wait for you up to the 5th of May. Terentia is much pleased with the attention and care you have bestowed on her controversy with Mulvius. She is not aware that you are supporting the common cause of all holders of public land. Yet, after all, _you_ do pay something to the _publicani_; she declines to pay even that,[236] and, accordingly, she and Cicero--most conservative of boys--send their kind regards.
