See the bilbiography for the Augstine works cited, pp. 481-482. | It took some work, but I finally found my copy of Gillespie's EPC in a box in my basement. The construction of the bookshelves in my study is almost complete, perhaps I'll be able to start shelving some of these books so I can find something when I look for it.
It is an interesting allusion to Augustine that Gillespie made. But Chris, I think you would be well served by comparing the citation I offered from the NPNF, First Series with another translation of this same Letter (#82) in The Fathers of the Church: A New Translation (Patristic series) published by CUA (Catholic University of America Press). Volume 26 is the one you want, and it contains another translation of this same letter by Augustine.
Blessings,
DTK
