126. К Феодору, консулярию Сирии 103

You say that you will consider it the greatest sign of our attention to you if, after the first, a second letter comes from us to your lordship. For our part, we would be ready to write countless times to such an honest and kind person, to our zealous friend, who greets our letters with such joy, if we had enough people who could provide us with the necessary service in this matter. But if this is not the case, we earnestly ask your lordship not to measure our love by the number of letters, but, whether we write or remain silent, to always maintain our previous opinion about it, in the full conviction that the reason for our long silence is not our inattention, but the desolation of our place of residence. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” Between 404 and 407. You might be interested in:
