Erasmus' letter to an unidentified correspondent, August 1497? The Latin text is taken from P.S. Allen, "Opus Epistolarum Des. Erasmi Roterodami", Vol. I, Oxford University Press, 1906. Re-issued 1992.

Erasmus to a certain person

Since you are wondering that I have broken off my usual habit of writing, there is nothing bad for you to suspect; for I have not stopped being that which I always was, extremely fond of you. Farewell.
