Salve, Marcelline! Haec tibi scribo de Fundano, amico nostro; is filiam
caram et bellam amisit. Illa puella non XIII annos vixerat, sed natura ei
multam sapientiam dederat. Matrem patremque, fratrem sororemque, nos et
alios amicos, magistros magistrasque semper amabat, et nos eam amabamus
laudabamusque. Medici eam adiuvare non poterant. Quoniam illa autem magnos
animos habuit, morbus nimis malum cum patientiã toleravit. Nunc,
mi amice, mitte Fundano nostro litteras de fortunã acerbã
filiae eius. Vale.
