14 July 45 BCE: To Atticus (at Rome) from Cicero (at Tusculum)
Atticus has been writing letters at the Games of Apollo
Yes, I shall avail myself of the postponement of the day;* and it was exceedingly kind of you to inform me, especially as I received the letter at a time when I wasn't expecting one, and you wrote it from your seat at the games.* I have in any case some matters of business to attend to at Rome, but I will settle them two days later.
