I have, in accordance with your request, written to brother Valerius.  Matters at Nyssa are going on as they were left by your reverence, and, by the aid of your holiness, are improving.  Of those who were then separated from me some have gone off to the court, and some remain waiting for tidings from it.  The Lord is able as well to frustrate the expectations of these latter as to make the return of the former useless.
