Letter 14.9

To my other miseries has been added grief both about Dolabella's health and about Tullia's. About everything, in short, I know neither what course to take nor what to do. Please take care of your own health and Tullia's. Farewell.

CDXVII (Fam. XIV, 9) TO TERENTIA (AT ROME) BRUNDISIUM (17 DECEMBER) Sorrow for the illness both of Dolabella and Tullia is an addition to my other miseries. Every single thing goes wrong, and I don't know what to think or do about anything. Pray take care of your own and Tullia 's health. Good-bye.

IX. Scr. Brundisii mense Decembri a.u.c. 706. TULLIUS TERENTIAE SUAE SAL. PLURIMAM. Ad ceteras meas miserias accessit dolor et Dolabellae valetudine et de Tulliae. Omnino de omnibus rebus nec quid consilii capiam nec quid faciam scio. Tu velim tuam et Tulliae valetudinem cures. Vale.
