Letter 6030: The magnitude of my grief cannot be contained in a letter.

The infancy of my speech cannot express the magnitude of the grief that has come upon me concerning that matter, namely that you refrained from writing to the bearers of these letters who were dispatched to Liguria. I did not believe that you were unaware of their passage, and I detected the presence of your greatness from the nature of the request: for it is granted that a negotiator may be found among those who are appointed. Yet the holidays from your letters torment me, the very letters which, even though you were most busy, you withheld from the relief of my sorrow. Now I return to my prayers. Farewell, my lords, and unseal the heavenly grace surrounding you with manifold conversation. For it has been brought forth by your deeds, in a time of repose, to rejoice in that harvest of innocence which has been sown amid labors.
