Letter LI: Marcus Aurelius to Marcus Cornelius Fronto

Y ou, when you are away from me, read Cato; but I, when away from you, listen to lawyers till five o'clock. Oh, that this coming night might be the shortest known! so fain am I to burn less midnight oil, that I may the sooner see you. Farewell, my sweetest of masters. My mother sends her greeting. I can scarcely breathe, so tired am I.

144–145 A.D.

M. Caesar to his master sends greeting.
