CommentaryCowdrey 1972 p. 110 note *: "This letter, which was evidently written soon after no. 45 [Ep. vagans 45], reinforces its pleas and arguments. The change from the plural in the address to the singular in the letter indicates that separate copies were prepared for the count and for the clergy and people."
