"You can soothe my worry only by writing to me day and night...."
Plinius Epistolaris~Book VI, iv
Having come from Thessalonica and Derbe ... Secundus and Gaius ... went ahead to await us in Troas.... Acts~XX, iv
Timotheo my partner and Lucius and Jason and Sosipater my Countrymen, send you salutation... Gaius, who has been ghosti to me and to the church sollus, sends you greetings... Romans~XVI, xxi, xxiii
Caecilius to Calpurnia
...You have written "My only comfort when you are away is to keep your books near at hand; I confess I sleep with your letters in your place next to me...."
I, too, read your letters over and over as though seeing you with each reading~which only rekindles my desire....Send me as many letters as you can, though your writing is painful in its delight....
