It had been exactly thirty days, when I wrote this letter, during which I had received nothing from you. My plan now, as I wrote to you before, was to go to Epirus and wait there for whatever may happen, rather than anywhere else. I ask you, if you see anything clearly in either direction, to write to me as plainly as possible; and, as you suggest, to send in my name whatever letters you think are needed.

It is just thirty days from the date of this letter since I had any news
from you. My intentions are, as I have said before, to go to Epirus, and
to await my fate there rather than anywhere else. I must beg you to
inform me quite openly of anything you notice, whether for good or for
bad, and, as you suggest, to send letters in my name to every one to
whom you think it necessary.
