Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume VI/The Letters of St. Jerome/Letter 105

Letter CV. To Augustine.

Jerome&#8217;s answer to the foregoing. He complains that even now he has not received Augustine&#8217;s letter and asks him to send him a copy of it. Popular rumour, he declares, credits Augustine with a deliberate suppression of the letter in order that he may seem to win an easy victory over his opponent. Jerome next deals with Augustine&#8217;s denial of having made a written attack upon him and concludes by refusing for the present all discussion of points of criticism. The date of the letter is 403 See Augustine, vol. i., Letter LXXII.
