i am taking latin this year, and its basically translating a collection of cicero's work

here is our first assignment


Tertiam ad te hanc epistulam scripsi eodem die, magis instituti mei tenendi causa, quia nactus eram, cui darem, quam quo haberem, quod scriberem. Igitur illa: quantum me diligis, tantum adhibe in te diligentiae. A tua innumerabilia in me officia adde hoc, quod mihi erit gratissimum omnium. Quum valetudinis rationem, ut spero, habueris, habeto etiam navigationis. In Italiam euntibus omnibus ad me litteras dabis, ut ego euntem Patras neminem praetermitto. Cura te, mi Tiro: quoniam non contigit, ut simul navigares, nihil est, quod festines, nec quod quidquam cures, nisi ut valeas. Etiam atque etiam vale. VII Idus Nov. Actio vesperi.


any help sooo much appreciated
thanks

i can understand some words, i can see relative sentences over there, we analyze the text and then translate it
kay epistulam it's a letter, scribsi means write , someone wrote a letter,eram we were , haberem we had , scirberem we worte , atque i think it's an adverb, etiam we are
i can understand a bit more but idk how to trasnlate it
use a dictionary sometimes those books are useful
