492 THE (EGINA LANGUAGE—MYTHUS, STORIES, AND LETTERS. 
TRANSLATION. 
When you sent the letter to me, the work was abundant. I was sick; but now I 
am all right again. When I finish my work, you shall see your child. We are poor; 
we have no horses. We shall go to see you. We will go to you in the cold weather. 
I do not wish to Jose the woman, your daughter; therefore you shall see her. When 
I see you, O venerable man, I wish it to be good for my heart. We still have the horse 
about which I told you last winter. You will be apt to see it. When the letter reaches 
you, I wish you to send me one very soon, telling how you are. I wish to hear from 
you. Your daughter desires to hear from her three children.
