Tua res agitur, paries
quuum proximus ardet.e
“Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet,” from Horace, Philip
Francis. The Satires and Epistles of Horace. Translation:
It is your concern when your neighbor’s wall is on fire.
Saturday.
Dear Govnor
These are the best
words I can now hit
upon for you. But I
am away from books, &
am daily losing my fa-
cility in using them.
Ever yours,
Charles Sumner
