From Axxxx. God permitting, expect us to pay you a visit on the 23rd. As soon therefore as you receive my letter be sure to have the bathroom heated, getting logs carried in and collecting chaff from everywhere, in order that we may bathe in warmth in this wintry weather. For we have chosen to stay at your place, as we intend both to inspect the remaining farms and to arrange the work of your district. See, however, that we are provided with every attention, and above all with a good pig for our party, but, again, let it be a good one, and not lean and unfit to eat like the last. Send word also to the fishermen to bring us some fish. I have sent you a letter for Horion telling him to send you 500 bundles of grass, and you will give him back the same amount; for my working animals are eating green fodder; and at all events have abundance of green grass brought in, in order that they too may have sufficient food. So send for the grass today without fail. Deliver any corn-dues that you can to the decemprimus through your corn-measurer and take the receipt immediately, understanding that if you are guilty of any negligence and do not get the receipts, your old offences also will come in for punishment. Take heed to supply to the hunters whom I have sent to hunt wild boars everything necessary for their many requirements, that is, everything that they and their animals are accustomed to receive, so that they may hunt with all zeal. Give them also a mettlesome donkey from those in your charge, since I have retained for my own use the mule which they had. You were ordered once before to report the quantities of corn stored up and dispatched, but you neglected the order, having perhaps a bad conscience. Do it this time, however, lest you be compelled to do it in the presence of a soldier. As I have received an order from an intimate friend, make it your care to buy two female asses, tall and without blemish, for the price which they are worth, so that neither does the vendor lose nor do we suffer any serious loss, the price being payable to you immediately after I have inspected them. I pray for your health most honored Sir.
