Letter 900.1
To my master, greeting. I have just heard of your misfortune. Suffering anguish as I do when a single joint of yours aches, my master, what pain do you think I feel when it is your heart that aches? Under the shock of the news I could think of nothing else than to ask you to keep safe for me the sweetest of masters, in whom I find a greater solace for this life than you can find for your sorrow from any source. I have not written with my own hand because after my bath in the evening even my hand was shaky. Farewell, my most delightful of masters.
