8. Formal Translation For even if I caused you grief with the letter, I do not regret it—though I did regret it—for I see that that letter caused you grief, though only for a time. |
8. Dynamic Translation Even if my letter made you sad, I have no regrets—though I did feel regret for a while, because I can see that letter hurt you, but only for a short time. |
