"Dominus, a letter from Tiberius Gallus.", Andros interrupted Lucius as he was deep in thought at his desk.

"Well bring it to me, Andros." Without looking, Lucius extended his arm and grasped the wax tablet.

Lucius groaned as he read the note from Gallus. "I am sure this will cost me more denarii, but maybe I can discuss my proposal with the group as well. I could use some input on how to go about it."

"Thank you, Andros. Please give my reply to the messenger."

Dearest Tiberius Gallus,

I thank you for your most hospitable invitation. I will be in attendance and look forward to the discussion. I have a small proposal of my own that I wish to discuss.

L. Vipsanius Agrippa
