1I cannot express how pleasant it is to me that our friend Saturninus, in letter after letter, expresses to me the warmest thanks to you. 2Go on as you have begun, and love this excellent man as intimately as you can, for you will gain great pleasure from his friendship, and not for a short time. 3For while he abounds in all the virtues, he does so above all in this one, that he has the greatest constancy in affection. 3Farewell.
