## 76. To the Same

I confess that I had paid a full and sufficient penalty for leaving you, not only in the annoyances that I encountered on my journey, but far more in the very fact that I have been away from you for so long, though I have indeed endured so many and various fortunes everywhere, that I have left nothing untried. But though I have undergone the alarms of war, the rigour of a siege, the wandering of exile and all sorts of terrors, and moreover the extreme cold of winter, the dangers of disease and countless mischances of many kinds in my journey from Upper Pannonia till I crossed the Chalcedonian straits, I may say that nothing so painful or so distressing has happened to me as the fact that after I left the East I have not, for so long a time, seen you, the universal blessing of the Hellenes. So do not be surprised if I say that a sort of mist and thick cloud overshadows my eyes. For only then will a clear atmosphere and the brilliant light of the sun, and, so to speak, the fairest and truest springtime of my life, encompass me when I can embrace you, the delight and glory of the whole world, and, like the true son of a noble father who when hope is given up is seen returning from war, it may be, or from the stormy billows of the sea, can proceed to recount to you all that I have suffered and what dangers I have been through, and as I, so to speak, ride safely on a sacred anchor, can find at last a sufficient consolation for my misfortunes. For naturally it is a consolation and lightens the weight of sorrow when one unburdens one's experiences to others and shares with them the knowledge of one's sufferings in the intercourse of speech. Meanwhile, however, with what means I have I will, so far as I can approach you; and indeed I shall not cease, for the whole period of our separation, to conciliate you with letters by way of a token. And if I only receive the like from you, I shall be somewhat more submissive and shall hold converse with your letters, regarding them as a sort of symbol that you are safe and well. Do you, then, graciously accept what arrives from me, and show yourself still more gracious in making requital, since every noble utterance of yours, every written word, is reckoned by me as equivalent to the voice of Hermes the god of eloquence, or to the hand of Asclepius.

# Letters of Julian/Letter 75

From The Works of the Emperor Julian, volume III (1913) Loeb Classical Library.

## 75. To the Same

O Zeus, how can it be right that I should spend my time in the middle of Thrace and winter in the grain-pits here, while from charming Iamblichus, as though from a sort of spring in the East, letters come to me like swallows and I cannot yet go to him nor can he come to me? Who would be willing to put up with this unless he were some Thracian and as bad as Tereus?
"Lord Zeus do thou rescue the Achaeans from Thrace and make clear weather and grant us to see with our eyes" our own Hermes some day, and salute his shrine and embrace his statue as they tell us Odysseus did when after his wandering he beheld Ithaca. Nay, but he was still asleep when the Phaeacians unloaded him from their ship like a piece of freight and went their way; but as for me sleep can never lay hold on me till it be my lot to see you that are the benefactor of the whole world. And yet you say in jest that I and my friend Sopater have transported the whole East into Thrace. Yet, if I must speak the truth, Cimmerian gloom abides with me so long as Iamblichus is not here. And you demand one of two things, that I should go to you or that you yourself should come to me. To my mind one of these alternatives is both desirable and expedient, I mean that I should go to you and benefit by the blessings that you bestow, while the other surpasses all my prayers. But since this is impossible for you and inexpedient, do you remain at home and prosper and preserve the tranquillity that you enjoy, while I will endure with a brave spirit whatever God may send. For we are told that it is the proof of a good man to keep hoping for the best, to do his duty and follow his fate and the will of God.

## 70. To Diogenes

Your son Diogenes, whom I saw after you went away, told me that you had been much irritated with him for some reason that would naturally make a father feel vexed with his child, and he implored me to act as mediator in a reconciliation between him and yourself. Now, if he has committed some error of a mild and not intolerable kind, do you yield to nature, recognise that you are a father, and again turn your thoughts to your child. But if his offence is too serious to admit of immediate forgiveness, it is right for you yourself rather than for me to decide whether you ought to bear even that with a generous spirit and overcome your son's purpose by wiser thoughts, or to entrust the offender's probation to a longer period of discipline.

## Footnotes

* ↑ Diogenes is otherwise unknown. Schwarz places this letter between January and June 362, when Julian was at Constantinople. The tone seems to imply that he was already Emperor, but the note is purely conventional, a "type" of the letter of intervention.

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
155 U.S. 385
Lake Superior Ship Canal Railway Iron Company v. Finan
This case differs from the preceding (Iron Co. v. Cunningham, 15 Sup. Ct. 103), in that the action was commenced March 21, 1889, and that Finan, the defendant, did not enter upon the tract in controversy until after the 1st of May, 1888. His entry and occupation gave him no rights to the land, because it was embraced within the railroad grant of 1856. He took nothing under the confirmatory act of 1889, because he was not a bona fide claimant or in actual occupation on the 1st of May, 1888. The land was selected and certified to the state for the benefit of the canal company, and was within the scope of the confirmation to the company by the act of 1889. The title of the company was therefore perfect, as against him.
The judgment of the circuit court must therefore be reversed, and the case remanded for a new trial.
Mr. John F. Dillon for plaintiff in error.
Mr. Don Dickinson for defendant in error.

# Letter from Gotse Delchev to Efrem Karanov

The letter sent to Efrem Karanov, a supporter of the revolutionaries, illustrates Gotse Delchev's opinion about the various individuals, such as Alexander Chakarov, who had attempted to "declare an uprising" in Vinica (obviously, only for the sake of adventure).
17 October 1895
...The liberation of Macedonia lies in the internal uprising. Whoever considers that Macedonia will be liberated in some other way, he’s fooling himself and the others. But who are those who would make an uprising at this moment? Is it Mr. Chakarov? If an uprising can be made with 1- 40 men, Macedonia would have been a free little state a long time before. But, because that is impossible, and more men are needed, then what should be done? The people should be awaken up from the five centuries old sleep, that has made the Macedonian pretty tolerant in his ideas about human justice... ("pretty fat in his consciousness of human justice", in the original).

# Letter from Gotse Delchev to Nikola Maleshevski (1897)

In the following letter, Gotse Delchev, among other topics, expresses his strong opposition to the activities of Doncho Zlatkov, a member of the Supreme Committee, a parallel pro-Bulgarian organization based in Sofia. Stressed words as in the original.
22 April 1897
...Not only the news about the capture (if of course, true) are dismaying, but Doncho with his heroes is much more awful. Who knows if there is a people that has suffered more from its degenerates, than the Macedonian people!...

# Letter from HQ Far East Command to the US Embassy

A copy of NARA RG84 Records of Foreign Service Posts the Department of States, Entry 2846, Korea, Seoul Embassy, Classified General Records, 1953-55. Box.12
HEADQUARTERS FAR EAST COMMAND APO 500
CHIEF OF STAFF
27 November 1952
Dear Mr. Lightner:
General Clark has asked me to reply to your letter of 14 November 1952 which dealt with an allegation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea concerning a bombing incident at Liancourt Rocks (Dokdo Island).
I am sure you understand that the more than two months which have passed since the incident renders it well nigh impossible to determine which, if any, of our planes may have dropped bombs which are alleged to have frightened the Koreans who were at Liancourt Rocks on 15 September 1952. Further there is no record of any our units having requested use of the area during this period.
322 - LIANCOURT ROCKS - 1952
The alleged incident notwithstanding our staff is making preparations to dispense with the use of Liancourt Rocks as a bombing range and upon suspension, the Republic of Korea as well as other interested agencies will be notified. This matter is being expedited.
The question of international sovereignty is, of course, outside General Clark's authority. However, I should like to point out that in all instructions (SCAPINs) to the Japanese Government regarding authorization of areas for Japanese fishing and whaling which were established under SCAP, there appeared a statement reading essentially, "the present authorization is not an expression of allied policy relative to ultimate determination of national jurisdiction, international boundaries or fishing rights in area concerned or in any other area."
Sincerely yours,
DOYLE D. HICKEY Lieutenant General, General Staff Chief of Staff
Mr. E. Allan Lightner, Jr. Charge d'Affaires, ad interim American Embassy Pusan, Korea

## Approximate Modern Translation

Darling, though I have scant leisure yet remembering my promise I thought it go convenient to certify you briefly as to how our affairs stand. As touching a lodging for you we have gotten one through my Lord Cardinal's means, the like of which could not have been found around here, for all causes, as this bearer shall more show you. As touching our other affairs I assure you there can be no more done, nor more diligence used, nor all manner of dangers better both forseen and provided for, so that I trust it shall be hereafter to both our comfort, the specialties whereof were both too long to be written, and hardly to be sent through a messenger. Wherefore till your coming here, I keep something in store trusting it shall not be long to, for I have caused my lord, your father, to make his provisions with speed, and thus for lack of time darling, I make an end of my letter, written with the hand of him who wishes he were yours, H.R.
