Marcus Tullius Cicero,
Letters to Atticus — 1.6 (II)
“ He is with her at present in his villa at Arpinum, and has Decimus Turanius with him, who is great in belles lettres.The date of my father's death was the 28th of November.That is about all my news. If you light on any articles of vertu suitable for a gymnasium, which would look well in the place you know of; [3] please don't let them slip. I am so delighted with my Tusculan villa that I never feel really happy till I get there. Let me know exactly what you are doing and intending to do about everything. ”
