Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume VIII/The Letters/Letter 12

To Olympius.

you did write me a few words:&#160; now not even a few.&#160; Your brevity will soon become silence.&#160; Return to your old ways, and do not let me have to scold you for your laconic behaviour.&#160; But I shall be glad even of a little letter in token of your great love.&#160; Only write to me.
