Post #2

Caesar returned today from his triumph over Pompey's sons.  My heart goes out to Pompey, a great Roman.  Though he has done things to me I will never forgive he was my captain, my leader, and friend.  To all of you Romans who hipocriticaly welcome Caesar, after you mourned for Pompey, I frown upon you.  Caesar as a close friend I welcome you and thank you for pardoning me, but you must understand my sorrow.

    O, dear Brutus, what a friend you really are. I'm sorry for originally killing your father, but he had to die supporting Lepidus.

    You made a valiant choice fighting for me against Caesar. Your efforts were great, but the has come. I'm sorry we had to lose, but at least you were pardoned unlike sad me, whose only hope lies in Egypt.

    I am proud of you for doing what you think is right for the good of Rome, it is great that you have done that. I trust you in all that you do, from raising you I know,because of how close we are, that you are being a good Roman.

    I support you, and completely understand that you are going through hardships like none other. Contemplating on this matter. "A covetous man is ever in want," I'm glad this is not you Brutus. An honorable man are you, and I trust your decision. But remember through this while, "Once a word has been allowed to escape, it cannot be recalled," Be careful what you say, and I wish you the best of luck!

    Thank you all, and I know what must be done. I cannot tell any of you but you will know by the months end what is planned. Long live Rome!
