[28] istud: an accusative of specification, with which me habere is in apposition. Cicero in his letters generally uses a quod-clause without antecedent in such constructions. Note that not only with habere, but in each case below (paravit, illius an mei, utor, pararim) the word definitely indicating the lecticarii is omitted, since the subject has become painfully embarrassing to the speaker.
