I would like to write more often, but the rarity of occasions to forward a letter does not give me the opportunity to fulfill my desire; in fact, the desolation of the local area, the fear of the Isaurians and the severity of winter often do not allow anyone to reach us. Moreover, whether we write or remain silent, we always maintain the same disposition towards you, fully feeling your zeal and care that you have for the salvation of your soul, trying to reassure those who live in piety and devoting ourselves to this good deed. Therefore, my most honest and reverent lord, write to us constantly about the health of yourself and your entire home. Then, even in our life in the desert, we will find great joy in receiving such letters from your honesty. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” Probably written in 405. You might be interested in:
