Key to the review paragraph (the translation paragraph on p. 102 in Wheelock):

Greetings, Marcellinus! I write these things to you about Fundanus, our friend, because he (has) lost his dear and beautiful daughter. That girl had not lived for 13 years, but nature had given to her much wisdom. She always loved (was loving) her mother and father, brother and sister, us and other friends, male teachers and female teachers, and we were loving and praising her. Doctors were not able to help her. However, since she had such great courage, she bore her very bad disease with patience. Now, my friend, send to Fundanus our letters about the bitter fate of his daughter. Goodbye!

3x5 card on exam

You will be allowed to bring one 3x5 notecard to the exam. If you don't have one you can cut out a 3x5 piece of paper.

Case endings are a good example of how its important to learn things both in and out of context. For example, you might know that the 1st declension accusative singular ending is -am when you're writing out all the forms together, but make sure you can also use that knowledge when you're working on a sentence.
