Tua res agitur, paries
quuum proximus ardet.

Editorial Note

“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
