Read as part of the e-pistulae newsletter, which sent Cicero's letters as e-mails around the time when they were written. Translation initially by Shackleton Bailey, later by the newsletter's author.

Cicero's love and friendship for Atticus was so heartwarming. I could practically see him laying down on his bed, legs kicking in the air, while he writes all the gossip to his best friend. It's not what actually happened, but it's the exact same feeling.
