I unseal this epistle to inform you, that while it
has been lying three days, waiting for the galley of the
Lord of Sarepta to depart, I have had intelligence of
your old friend Remeses. He lives, and is in Midian,
as you suspected, and is well, though, of course, far advanced
in years. This is all that I can now add to my
letter, as the secretary of the Sareptan noble is in my
reception-room, and lingers only to take this letter, the
wind being now favorable.
