Letter 121
Pliny the Younger→Pliny the Younger|c. 112 AD|pliny younger
Trajan to Pliny.
You did right, my dear Pliny, in having confidence in my sympathy. There is no doubt that, if you had waited to ask my permission to expedite your wife's journey by the permits which I have given you for official purposes, they would have been of little service to her, especially as the speed with which she travelled must have made her arrival still more welcome to her aunt.
