Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Series II, Vol. To Gregory my friend . I Received a letter from You the day before yesterday.
Much meaning is expressed in few words.
I did not reply on the spot, because I was away from home, and the letter-carrier, after he had delivered the packet to one of my friends, went away. Now, however, I am able to address you through Peter, and at the same time both to return your greeting, and give you an opportunity for another letter. There is certainly no trouble in writing a laconic dispatch like those which reach me from you. This document is from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library at Calvin College.
