St Boniface, tr. Kylie, 1911

Letter 44: Boniface Commends to the Priest Denehard, Athalhere, a Slave, About to Marry.…

Boniface, servant of the servants of God, to Denehard, priest, greetings in Christ.

I bid thee, beloved, with regard to this slave Athalhere, if any need befalls him in this case, to aid him as thou shouldst a free man, and to speak for him to his friends as for a free man, not a slave. I have sanctioned this since he is arranging to take a wife; that he may have no fears because he is a slave.

Farewell in Christ.
