Letter CV.
To Augustine.
Jerome’s answer to the foregoing. He complains
that even now he has not received Augustine’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’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
a.d.
