The Eastern Cross/Library/Letters of St. Jerome
Letters of St. Jerome
St. Jerome wrote to monks, noblewomen, bishops and friends all over the Roman world, and kept copies. There is his long letter to Eustochium on virginity, his advice to Laeta on raising a daughter, and his grief when Rome was sacked in 410.
He could be sharp-tongued, and he is never dull.
